Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing medical simulation, and, in particular, for implementing medical simulation to simulate a medical instrument entering and maneuvering in a body of a person. A medical simulation system comprising a medical instrument detection unit, a medical instrument tracker unit, a braking unit may be provided. The medical simulation detection unit may determine when a medical instrument is interacting with the system. The tracking unit may track the movement and position of the medical instrument. The braking unit may be used to engage the medical instrument and simulate haptic effects. A medical simulation containment system for the medical simulation system may also be provided.
