  World's First Surgical Drilling Simulator Using Haptic Technology

  A Melbourne, Australia Company, Medic Vision Ltd., that builds surgical simulators, is now using the well accepted PHANTOM force feedback device from SensAble in its new surgical drilling simulator, providing realistic feeling to the trainees. The Mediseus® Surgical Drilling Simulator provides solution for temporal bone drilling to rely on the same viewing and operating technology as surgeons use during actual procedures: a simulated stereoscopic 3D microscope, and a sense of touch. Instead of holding a computer mouse, trainees hold a PHANTOM® haptic device from SensAble, which provides force feedback -- pushing back on the user's hand -- as they perform the surgical procedure. The Mediseus Surgical Drilling Simulator allows ENT surgical residents to learn the surgical procedure from start to finish, obtaining unlimited practice, and refining their knowledge. A telelearning capability also allows remote, haptically-enabled, surgeon-guided training. For example, a surgeon using a Mediseus simulator in one location can train a resident on a Mediseus in another location, guiding the trainee through the procedure haptically. "Surgical residents can experience what actually takes place in the operating room, including the sights, sounds and the feeling of the procedure, in a safe and controlled environment until they achieve mastery."

  Medic Vision intros haptic Mediseus Surgical Drilling Simulator May 15th, 2008 by Filed under: Misc. Gadgets We can’t say we’ve ever felt the need to experience an accurate sensation of drilling through bone, but if you’ve always wondered what that was like (or, you know, are actually training to become a surgeon), you may want to take Medic Visions new Mediseus Surgical Drilling Simulator for a spin, which makes use of SensAble’s PHANTOM haptic device for that added sense of realism. That’ll apparently not only give you force feedback that’s able to “distinguish between the feeling of different parts of the temporal bone drilling procedure,” but some audio cues as well to round out the entire quease-inducing process. The system also comes equipped with a telelearning system that’ll let a surgeon in one location show a trainee in another how it’s done but, unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to include an updated version of Operation to help residents put in those downtimes.
