The present invention relates to a simulation device (2), for practicing manipulations of at least one elongated medical instrument (101, 102), comprising a housing (11) presenting at least one instrument input (10) and enclosing a first motion sensor (18) for tracking the motions of a first elongated medical instrument (101) inserted therein. The housing encloses a bifurcating device (14, 140) having one input (13, 142) connected to the instrument input as well as at least a first and a second outputs (23, 24), the bifurcating device further comprising a deflecting mechanism (15, 141) for guiding the first and a second elongated medical instruments (101, 102) from its input, respectively, through the first and second outputs, the first output being connected to the first motion sensor while the second output is connected to a second motion sensor for tracking the motions of the second elongated medical instrument. Thus, the operator's feelings are very close from those of a real medical intervention, the respective behaviour of the instruments being substantially identical. |
