specific Embodiment approach

[0042] see now figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram showing a simulation system 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. System 20 allows a system operator 22 (typically a medical professional such as a physician) to perform a simulation of an invasive medical procedure. In a real medical procedure, an operator inserts a catheter stylet into a body organ (assumed herein to include a lumen) and uses a controller at the proximal end of the catheter to steer the distal end of the stylet. In the following description, it is generally assumed that the body cavity in a real operation includes the patient's heart. However, it should be understood that this actual procedure is illustrated by way of example and that other medical procedures that can be simulated by the system 20 will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Such procedures and their simulations are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.

Abstract

The present invention provides a device, which includes: a mock-up probe having a distal end and a proximal end adapted to be grasped by an operator. The apparatus also includes a mockup patient simulating a real patient, the mockup patient having an aperture enabling penetration of the distal end of the mockup probe into the mockup patient. The apparatus includes a force generator coupled to the mockup probe to apply a force to the proximal end perceivable by an operator, and a system controller. The controller is configured to track the position of the distal end during penetration into the mock-up patient, obtain an indication of a contraction force value of the real patient organ region corresponding to the position, and The force generator is activated such that the force applied to the proximal end corresponds to the indication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to invasive medical devices and, in particular, to the simulation of such procedures. Background technique [0002] There is generally a learning curve associated with any medical procedure, and depending on the procedure, this learning curve can be relatively "steep" in some cases. Even where the learning curve is not steep, it often takes a significant amount of time to learn and perfect the procedure. Such time periods can be shortened if surgery can be simulated. [0003] US Patent Application 2007 / 0043285 to Schwartz, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, describes methods for pre-planning and performing cardiac surgery. The method includes simulating insertion of a sheath into the heart and simulating insertion of a medical device through the sheath into the heart. [0004] US Patent Application 2007 / 0032826 to Schwartz, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, ...
