Abstract
An injection simulation device for simulating one or more forces of an injection is provided herein. The device may include a housing and a retractable injection simulation member associated with the housing, wherein the retractable injection simulation member retracts according to a multi-phase force profile. The multi-phase force profile includes a first phase configured to simulate a deformation force of pressing a needle against a subject so as to deform at least a first layer of tissue prior to traversing at least the first layer of tissue of the subject, a second phase configured to simulate a puncture rebound force, and a third phase configured to simulate an insertion force.
