Unlike conventional ones, compliant mechanisms release no particles due to their nature as wearless kinematics. Besides this, they need no lubrication and hence guarantee a clean operation, which is paramount for cleanroom or endoprosthetic applications. On the other side, compliant structures can be employed in dirty environment, since - as a difference to conventional mechanisms - impurities have no relevant impact on their function. After all, compliant system can be built completely gapless, whcih makes cleaning and sterilisation much easier.
