Abstract：This paper first discusses the status of suturing technique in corneal grafting.On the basis of analyzing the manual operation actions and the requirements,the suturing mechanism called interrupted suturing are presented and designed,and the control system of suturing is developed.An experiment on clinically suturing the corneal of a pig is done to demonstrate the feasibility of our design.
