Soft tissue damage is often at risk during the use of a surgical grasper, because strong holding force required to prevent slipping soft in wet environments. Improvement friction properties interface between grasper and can greatly reduce and, thus, damage. To design fabricate biomimetic microscale surface with friction, attachment mechanism tree frog toe pads was investigated by observing their epithelial cell structure directionally dependent on pads. Using these observations as...
