Robotic catheter system |
摘要 |
A catheter system including a housing and a drive mechanism supported by the housing is provided. The drive mechanism includes an engagement structure configured to engage and to impart movement to a catheter device. The engagement structure defines a path for the catheter device, and the engagement structure is moveable between an engaged position in which the engagement structure engages the catheter device and a disengaged position in which the engagement structure does not engage the catheter device. The catheter system includes a biasing element configured to bias the engagement structure toward the engaged position, and the biasing element is aligned generally parallel to the path defined by the engagement structure. |

1. A robotic catheter system, the system comprising:
a housing; a drive mechanism supported by the housing, the drive mechanism including an engagement structure configured to engage and to impart movement to a catheter device, the engagement structure defining a path for the catheter device, the engagement structure moveable between an engaged position in which the engagement structure engages the catheter device and a disengaged position in which the engagement structure does not engage the catheter device; and a biasing element configured to bias the engagement structure toward the engaged position, the biasing element aligned generally parallel to the path defined by the engagement structure; wherein the engagement structure includes a first wheel and a second wheel, wherein the second wheel is moveable relative to the first wheel to move the engagement structure between the engaged and disengaged positions. |
