    The study focuses on developing a compression-based implant for colorectal anastomosis to enhance healing and reduce trauma.

  • 2

    Biomechanical characterization of gastrointestinal tissues is essential for determining design specifications for endoscopic devices.

  • 3

    The experimental setup measures tissue penetration forces using porcine tissue, which closely resembles human gastrointestinal anatomy.

  • 4

    Various design specifications, such as fixation point arrangements and insertion speeds, were investigated for their impact on insertion forces.

  • 5

    The results aim to inform the design of endoluminal applicators for safe and effective tissue fixation during colorectal procedures.
