Opening sterile medical packaging is routine for healthcare workers but remains challenging for robots. Learning from demonstration enables robots to acquire manipulation skills directly from humans, and handheld gripper tools such as the Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) offer a pathway for efficient data collection. However, the effectiveness of these tools depends heavily on their usability. We evaluated UMI in demonstrating a bandage opening task, a common manipulation task in hospital settings, by testing three conditions: distributed load grippers, concentrated load grippers, and bare hands. Eight participants performed timed trials, with task performance assessed by success rate, completion time, and damage, alongside perceived workload using the NASA-TLX questionnaire. Concentrated load grippers improved performance relative to distributed load grippers but remained substantially slower and less effective than hands. These results underscore the importance of ergonomic and mechanical refinements in handheld grippers to reduce user burden and improve demonstration quality, especially for applications in healthcare robotics.
