A deeper understanding of the forces required for optimal flow diverter stent deployment could improve procedural safety and shorten the learning curve for new devices. In the past, force sensors have been physically attached to devices in some way. The investigators approach is to incorporate force sensors into the hands of the operator handling the device using sensorised surgical gloves. Participants will be asked to deploy a Flow Diverter (FD) in a biorealistic silicone model while wearing force sensing surgical gloves. The primary objective of the study is to show whether sensorised gloves are capable of meaningful force detection in neurointerventional procedures. The investigators will also explore the potential of developing computer vision technology in neurointervention. The investigators are inviting groups of experts and novices to participate. This will allow the investigators to understand if analysis of glove force outputs can distinguish operator experience.
