Modeling of a Flexible Instrument to Study its Sliding Behavior Inside a Curved Endoscope

Flexible instruments are increasingly used to carry out surgical procedures. The instrument tip is remotely controlled by the surgeon. The flexibility of the instrument and the friction inside the curved endoscope jeopardize the control of the instrument tip. Characterization of the surgical instrum...
