AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR THE CONTROLLED DEPLOYMENT OF NESTED CANNULA

摘要

A cannula control device (70) employs a platform (80) and one or more cannula control units (40). Each cannula control unit (40) includes a cannula (30), a rotation motor assembly (50) mechanically connected to the cannula (30) for rotating the cannula (30) to a specific rotational orientation relative to a calibration orientation associated with cannula control unit (40) and/or the platform (80), and a translation motor assembly (60) mechanically connected to the platform (80) for translating the cannula control unit (40) to a specific translational position relative to a calibration position associated with the cannula control unit (40) and/or the platform (80). The cannula(s) (30) of device (70) are capable of precisely reaching numerous target locations, particularly within an anatomical region of a same body or different bodies.
