VEST System One ( VSOne ) Technology

Some facts about the new VEST System VSOne :
  • new compact design with electrically driven trainer input box (instrument box) to ensure an optimal working position and optimum storage size
    • 3 haptic (force-feedback) devices as mock-up endoscopic instruments
    • 1 virtual endoscopic camera
  • three new Basic Task Training (BTT) exercises
    • find numbers in tubes (training to handle the endoscopic camera)
    • touch points on blocks (left/right hand basic instrument handling and 3D-positioning)
    • follow a prescribed path (left hand: grasp a plate with a figure; right hand: follow the figure with a pencil)
  • improved laparoscopic cholecystectomy scenario
  • improved laparoscopic gynaecology scenario
all applications, i.e. both, BTT exercises and virtual surgical scenarios are force-feedback (haptics) enabled.
