  • Electronic training system and method for surgical procedures
    Patent number: 12694800
    Abstract: A training system that allows a user to practice performing movements commonly performed during an endoscopic vessel harvesting surgical procedure includes a manipulation device representative of components of a vessel harvesting device. The manipulation device includes a first tool having a main handle configured to be grasped by a user and a second tool having an auxiliary handle including a shaft inserted through an opening in the main handle. The training system also includes a video display and a controller in electronic communication with sensors of the manipulation device and the video display. The controller is configured to: receive and process signals from the sensors of the manipulation device to determine movement information for the manipulation device and cause at least one visual indication to be provided on the video display at a position on the video display based, at least in part, on the determined movement information.
