Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a body cavity simulator. The body cavity simulator is adapted for simulating medical instrument insertion procedures. The body cavity simulator comprises a duct, a plurality of haptic mechanisms and a plurality of sensors. The duct defines an insertion path adapted for receiving and guiding translation of a simulated medical instrument. Each haptic mechanism is positioned at a haptic point along the insertion path. Each haptic mechanism is adapted for applying a resistive haptic force to the simulated medical instrument. Each sensor is co-located with one of the haptic mechanisms. Each sensor is adapted for detecting the simulated medical instrument at the haptic point and generating simulated medical instrument positioning data.
