More Information
Summary:An input device for the simulation of laparoscopic operations in a real or virtual environment includes: two handpieces, each having: a rod having the end adapted to simulate a laparoscopic instrument; a handle maneuverable by an operator applied to the rod; a trocar provided with a through hole in which the rod is inserted; a support frame provided with two seats each of which accommodates a trocar; a sensor configured to control the movements of each trocar and of each rod. An elastic member stably constrains each trocar inside the respective seat and is configured to prevent the rotation of each trocar according to the longitudinal axis of the through hole and to allow the rotation of each trocar for orienting the longitudinal axis with respect to the plane of the support frame with reference to a triad of reference axes (x, y, z) having the origin coincident with the centre of each trocar.
