  • Three distinct experiments are conducted to compare the insertion forces of traditional needles and waterjet needles. These include: (a) insertion of a needle without the waterjet to give a baseline for a traditional needle’s insertion forces, (b) reinserting a needle without waterjet in the existing channel from (a) to determine the frictional component of (a), and (c) a new insertion with the waterjet enabled (in a fresh channel) to compare the insertion forces against both the traditional needle insertion and the friction-only component of a traditional insertion. The key finding is that Waterjet Needles Result in a Reduction in Insertion Force of Over 50 %. In the data the first column is displacement and the second column is force. Main.m is a matlab file to help with plotting the data.
