摘要: Accurate biomechanical characteristics of tissues are essential for developing realistic virtual reality surgical simulators utilizing haptic devices. Surgical simulation technology has progressed rapidly but without a large database soft tissue mechanical properties with which to incorporate. The device described here is computer-controlled, motorized endoscopic grasper capable applying surgically relevant levels force in vivo and measuring the tissue's force-deformation properties.
