Haptic based surgical simulations are popular training aids in medicine. Previously, surgical tool loads and motion were measured during cutting and needle insertion on non-human tissue and several haptic based simulations were developed to enhance surgical training. However, there was a lack of realistic foundational data regarding the mechanical responses of human tissue and tools during fundamental acts of surgery, i.e., cutting, suturing, retracting, pinching and indenting. This study used f ...[more]
