Catheter for manual and remote manipulation |
摘要 |
An elongate medical device may overcome be configured both for manual manipulation by a physician and for automatic manipulation by a remote catheter guidance system. Such an elongate medical device comprises a shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a pull wire disposed in the shaft and affixed to the distal portion of the shaft, and a handle coupled with the proximal portion of the catheter shaft. The handle comprises a first mechanism configured for manual actuation of the pull wire so as to deflect the distal portion of the shaft, a second mechanism configured for remote actuation of the pull wire so as to deflect the distal portion of the shaft, and a mechanical interface configured to provide a remote catheter guidance system with a functional connection to the second mechanism. |

1. An elongate medical device comprising:
a shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion; a pull wire disposed in said shaft and affixed to said distal portion of said shaft; and a handle having a distal end and a proximal end, said distal end coupled with the proximal portion of said shaft and said proximal end opposite said distal end, said handle comprising:
a first mechanism configured for manual actuation of said pull wire so as to deflect the distal portion of said shaft;a second mechanism configured for remote actuation of said pull wire so as to deflect the distal portion of said shaft; anda mechanical interface disposed at said proximal end of said handle and configured to provide a remote system with a functional connection to said second mechanism. |
