Abstract
We present a method of quantitatively measuring the pressure distribution applied to synthetic tissues by surgical tools via dye-impregnated microcapsules that rupture at specified pressures. A method utilizing pre-made indicator sheets is evaluated by force applications on synthetic bowel, and methods for creating paint-on indicator slurries were explored. A high spatial resolution of pressure intensity is demonstrated (0.1mm) and preliminary results merit further study.
