Abstract

With ever growing attention of medical community on the usage of surgical simulators as effective training means, development of robust and costeffective haptic tool interfaces is very much necessary. We have developed such tool interfaces that can be easily plugged to PHANTOM® Omni™ Besides simulating actual tools in operating room, they are cost-effective and are easy to build.
