SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR ROBOTIC CATHETER SYSTEM

摘要

A support assembly for supporting a remotely controlled instrument driver in a selectable orientation relative to an operating table, the assembly comprising including a base (1) removably attachable to the operating table, an actuator assembly coupled to the base (3), the actuator assembly including an actuator and a brake that is electronically activated to allow rotation of a first extension member (11) about a first axis substantially orthogonal to the operating table. A second extension member (15) is coupled to the first extension member via an interface assembly (13) operatively controlled by the actuator to selectively allow rotation of the second extension member about a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis, and about a third axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.
