Abstract
We have developed a force sensor for actual linear medical objects. The sensory principle of this force sensor is based on optically measuring how the linear object bends with force. We have assembled the sensor into a medical equipment Y-connector, so that the sensor can be used in surgery. In this paper, we introduce the sensing method, the sensor characteristics, and experimental results of a dummy aneurysm.
