LAUNCH FIXTURE FOR OPTICAL SHAPE SENSING |
摘要 |
A launch fixture for optical shape sensing (OSS) includes a first fixation device (172) configured to receive and secure an optical fiber. A fiber storage area (174) is configured to receive and maintain the optical fiber within specified dimensions. A second fixation device (180) is configured to receive and secure a flexible OSS enabled instrument. A launch region (176) is configured to receive and maintain the optical fiber in a known geometric configuration before entering the second fixation device. A feature (184) is provided for aligning and coupling to a launch fixture base, which is configured to secure the launch fixture. |
