Instrument for use in a medical simulator

摘要

A secondary instrument (11) insertable into a channel (12) in a main instrument (1) in a medical simulator. The secondary instrument comprises an outer sleeve (15) and a handle (17) movable within the outer sleeve. The instrument has a first configuration representing a first real instrument in which the handle is movable with respect to the outer sleeve for a first length of travel and a second configuration representing a second instrument in which the handle is movable with respect to the outer sleeve for a second length of travel which is less than the first length of travel. The instrument is therefore able to physically represent more than one real instrument.
