Abstract

We introduce a novel injection simulator with haptic feedback which provides realistic physical experience to the medical user. Needle insertion requires very dexterous hands-on skills and fast and appropriate response to avoid dangerous situations for patients. In order to train the injection operation, the proposed injection simulator has been designed to generate delicate force feedback to simulate the needle penetration into various tissues such as skin, muscle, and blood vessels. We have developed and evaluated the proposed simulator with medical doctors and realized that the system offers very realistic haptic feedback with dynamic visual feedback. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
