  • Publication number: 20250316184
    Abstract: A surgical training platform including a display unit for displaying the virtual environment, a calibration module connected to the display unit, a training module with a haptic controller, a control system configured to identify the different modules, analyse the data related to the movement(s) of each tool connected to the haptic controller, generate the virtual environment, interface each virtual surgical element with a corresponding real element. All of modules are configured to be reversibly attached to each other in a known configuration, each haptic controller includes a connection system configured to reversibly mechanically connect a surgical training tool, each haptic controller being further configured to measure each movement in space of the surgical training tool once the latter is connected to the haptic controller. The control system further includes a system for recognizing the tool.

  • Publication number: 20230149085
    Abstract: A surgical simulation device having a real surgical instrument including a functional element, which can be activated according to at least two distinct operating states, and a computing unit. The device also includes an electronic system connecting the real surgical instrument to the computing unit, and a virtual surgical instrument connected to the computing unit. The virtual surgical instrument has a virtual functional element similar to that of the real surgical instrument. The real surgical instrument provided with the electronic system has substantially the same weight as a corresponding functional surgical instrument, the virtual functional element of the virtual surgical instrument is adapted to be activated according to the same operating states as those of the functional element of the real surgical instrument, and to be aligned, in real time, with the operating state of the real surgical instrument.
