The virtual reality simulator-based catheter training system with haptic feedback

The endovascular surgery benefits patients due to the miniature wound and fast healing, but to achieve this kind of goal need the doctor with superb skill in order to not made damage to the patients. A training system is desperately in need. The training system is cooperated with VR simulator system, which could simulate the movement of the catheter. To get the novice surgeons get trained, a controlling device makes training system effective. At the same time, the feedback system also provides advantages for training. The performance is evaluated from the displacement in VR system and force feedback from haptic device. The results demonstrate that the operation error is less than 10%. The purposed training system provides a effective way which combined the VR catheter system and force feedback system.
