Haptic Feedback Surgical Environment Market Segmentation

Insight by Application

Based on the application, the global haptic feedback surgical environment is bifurcated into surgical robotics systems and medical simulators. Surgical robotics systems are growing significantly during the forecast period in the haptic feedback surgical environment as surgical robotics systems reduce patient trauma, less recovery time, decrease energy consumption during operation and reduce overall cost. Moreover, minimally invasive robotic surgery has gained traction owing to the integration of haptics with surgical procedures and involves training surgeons via virtual simulators before performing actual surgeries on patients. Haptic-enabled medical simulators are playing a significant role in training medical students to simulate medical cases efficiently.
