Quantifying tactile properties of liver tissue, silicone elastomers, and a 3D printed polymer for manufacturing realistic organ models

In order to produce anatomical models that feel realistic to the touch, artificial materials need to be found that mimic tactile properties of biological tissues. The aim of this study was to provide a guideline for identifying materials that feel similar to biological tissues, based on a quantifiab...
