In the past two decades, major developments have happened in finding alternate cure methods for cancer. Cryosurgery is one such promising technique that uses extremely low temperatures to kill cancer cells. As this procedure can be performed with minimal invasion, it has huge benefits over the traditionally performed surgeries. Research and development have been happening in developing devices for curing breast cancer using cryosurgery.

Abdul Mateen A. G. Shaikh, Prof. Atul Shrivastava, and Prof. Milind Atrey have designed a liquid nitrogen cryoprobe and tested it for ice formation. This device needs design intervention to make it usable. There is scope to innovate and come up with a product that can change the cancer research scenario worldwide.

The project aims to design an ergonomic probe for cryosurgery for breast cancer, which can later be scaled to incorporate other organs, and also propose a system for the same. The primary aim of the project is to design an ergonomic probe, keeping in mind the design constraints for a class II device and also for a cryogenic device. An operative process that requires less time compared to the current operative processes and is minimally invasive has also been proposed.
