Towards automated and painless venipuncture – vibratory needle insertion techniques

The insertion of a needle into soft inhomogeneous tissue is required for many medical procedures. It has been shown that vibratory needle insertion methods have the ability to reduce insertion forces, which are correlated with increased needle placement precision, and reduced frequency and intensity...
