MINIATURIZED SCANNING SYSTEM

摘要

In at least one aspect, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a miniaturized scanning system to generate movement of a flexible device positioned at a distal part of a medical tool. The miniaturized scanning system comprises: an inner shaft with a longitudinal axis, adapted to guide said flexible device along said longitudinal axis, an abutment comprising an external surface and adapted to maintain said device, a pusher mechanism adapted to engage with said abutment and comprising at least one end portion adapted to contact said external surface of the abutment at a contact point, wherein said end portion is configured to translate along said longitudinal axis of the inner shaft and wherein the translation of said end portion results in a bending of the device in a bending plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the inner shaft and said contact point.
