Abstract EN
Endoscopy is one of the most important procedures in diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal tract problems.
While endoscopic procedure has tremendous benefits, physicians require considerable practice and time to develop competency.
Current endoscopic training process involves cognitive learning and hands-on training under the supervision of an expert gastroenterologist.
Previous studies have shown that fellow involvement prolongs procedural time and incurs additional expenses to the institution.
Moreover, the patient also experiences more discomfort and injury risk.
Introduction of training simulator into the training process could reduce the involvement of the patients and thus reduce the risk.
Porcine model is commonly used for training in endoscopy due to the similar tactile response to a human gastrointestinal tract.
However, information on elastic behavior of pig or human gastrointestinal tract for the engineering purposes was limited.
In this study, the modulus of elasticity and ultimate tensile stress data of the pig stomach and intestines, small and large intestines, were measured and compared with multiple rubber stomach and intestines models.
Based on the experimental results and experienced gastroenterologists feedback, the proposed dipped rubber composition can provide a satisfactory tactile feedback and could be used to simulate a human gastrointestinal tract for an endoscopic simulation training model.
