Measurement of the Tip and Friction Force Acting on a Needle during Penetration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the tip and friction forces acting on a needle during penetration into a canine prostate, independently measured by a 7-axis load cell newly developed for this purpose. This experimental apparatus clarifies the mechanics of needle penetration, potentially improving the development of surgical simulations. The behavior of both tip and friction forces can be used to determine the mechanical characteristics of the prostate tissue upon penetration, and the detection of the surface puncture, which appears in the friction force, makes it possible to estimate the true insertion depth of the needle in the tissue. The friction model caused by the clamping force on the needle can also be determined from the measured friction forces.

Estimation of the friction force during the needle insertion using the disturbance observer and the recursive least square
Needle insertion can be performed with the aid of an ultrasound (US) image. Detecting the position of a needle in a US image requires considerable technical expertise. To detect whether the needle has reached the target, the physician usually relies on physically sensing the amount of force being fed back from the tip of the needle to their fingertip. The goal of our research was to develop a f...
متن کاملNeedle Deflection during Insertion into Soft Tissue Based on Virtual Spring Model
Needle insertion is the most common procedure of minimally invasive interventions. During insertion into a soft tissue, the needle with bevel tip can deflect due to the asymmetric forces acting on the tip of the needle. In this paper, a mechanics-based model is developed to predict the needle deflection. In the model, the needle is considered as a cantilever beam supported by a series of nonlin...

INTRODUCTION A testing apparatus has been developed to investigate the deformation of tissue during impact and penetration by a medical needle at varying velocities. The apparatus acts as a variable-angle inclined plane, with the needle mounted on a carriage which accelerates towards impact due to gravitational force. As the needle penetrates tissue, the tissue deforms due to forces applied by ...

متن کاملRobotic needle insertion: effects of friction and needle geometry
Two experiments were performed to determine the effects of friction and needle geometry during robotic needle insertion into soft tissues. In Experiment I, friction forces along the instrument axis were characterized during needle insertion into bovine liver under CT fluoroscopic imaging. Because the relative velocity of the tissue and needle affect viscous and Coulomb friction, the needle inse...
