Telescopic guide device for catheters to facilitate their insertion into the human cardiovascular system

摘要

Telescopic guide device (7) with an adapter (10), for mounting on catheters (E) to facilitate their insertion and movement in the human cardiovascular system by a manual procedure or by means of a robotic manipulator, characterized in that the telescopic guide assembly (7) is provided at its other end with an adapter means having a friction coupling (1, 101, 201, 201', 301, 2, 3, 4), to be mounted on the proximal portion of the catheter which is connected to the handle (M) of the catheter, in such a way that it can be associated with catheters made by different manufacturers and also with catheters having different diameters which lie within a wide range of values.
