Interventional simulation device
First Claim
1. A device in a simulation system for simulating an interventional operation, said device being arranged to receive at least two real instruments, comprising:
- a number of moveable carriages corresponding to a number of said real instruments,a track, andan interconnecting member,wherein said interconnecting member interconnects said carriages serially, each carriage being provided with an opening for enabling reception of said real instruments, each carriage further comprises;
a member for receiving and locking at least one real instrument, anda member for receiving a movement from said instrument and generating a force feedback to said real instrument with respect to a simulation characteristic, andwherein said opening is provided within said interconnecting member.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a device (100) in a simulation system for simulating an interventional operation. The device (100) is arranged to receive a number of real instruments, preferably at least two. The device (100) comprises a number of moveable carriages (16A-16C) corresponding to the number of the real instruments. The device (100) further comprises a track (20) and an interconnecting member (26). The interconnecting member (26) interconnects the carriages (16A-16C) serially. Each carriage (16A-16C) is provided with an opening for enabling reception of the instruments. Each carriage (16A-16C) further comprises members to receive and lock at least one instrument, and members for receiving a movement from the instrument and generating a force, fed back to the instrument with respect to a simulation characteristic.
