[156] Citation: Abstract
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 ofsoft tissue
mechanical properties with which to incorporate. The device described here is a
computer-controlled, motorized endoscopic grasper capable of applying surgically
relevant levels of force to tissue in vivo and measuring the tissue's
force-deformation
properties.
