Abstract
The invention has been particularly developed for a controlled embolisation application in arterial and venous embolisation, and relates to a device used for halting the progression of aneurysm and reflux closing/aneurysms, blocking/arteries closing/arteriovenous malformations/-venous reflux procedures.
Claims10
A robotic embolisation apparatus developed for a controlled embolisation application in arterial and venous embolization, comprising a robotic embolization device and an embolization system,
- wherein the robotic embolisation apparatus is used for halting a progression of aneurysm or reflux/closing aneurysms/blocking arteries/closing arteriovenous malformations/venous reflux procedures,
- wherein the robotic embolisation device for controlling a laser within the embolisation system comprises:
- at least one terminal transferring energy from a power supply to the embolisation system,
- at least one PLC unit which is commanded over a PLC control display and where an automation software is installed,
- a drive motor which allows 3-phase and 1.2 step control, the drive motor controlling bobbins and a device injector at suitable pulse values within the embolisation system, wherein the robotic embolization device controls the drive motor at desired values,
- at least one motor driver by which an angular sensitivity of the drive motor during use is adjusted,
- the at least one PLC control display through which the PLC unit is commanded,
- at least one fiber connection input which transmits light to fiber by means of a light source comprised thereon,
- at least one bobbin mechanism, and
- at least one robotic embolisation means;
- wherein the robotic embolisation apparatus further comprises an injection gun comprising a gun injector;
- wherein the embolization system comprises:
- the gun injector whose volume is 2 cc in an injection gun system while 5 cc in the robotic embolisation device, and which stores a polymer and transfers the polymer into a catheter;
- a light source adapter which supplies light to a fiber optic cable by means of the light source and which creates a light at a tip of the catheter, wherein the light source adapter has channels for advancing the polymer into the catheter and comprises:
- at least one injector connection port the gun injector being connected to one end of the injector connection port, a stainless steel pin (SS pin) being connected to an other end of the injector connection port,
- an on/off switch through which the light source is switched on and off, wherein the robotic embolization device controls the on/off switch,
- at least one 12V power supply battery,
- at least one catheter connection port through which the catheter is connected to the light source adapter,
- the SS pin for interconnecting the catheter and the injector connection port,
- the light source for supplying the light to the fiber optic cable, and
- at least one fiber retaining pin which enables the fiber optic cable to be positioned at a focal point of the light source;
- and
- the catheter with an inner diameter 1 (ID1) lumen and an inner diameter 2 (ID2) lumen, an end portion of which is rounded in form and which is capable of advancing through a vein, wherein the catheter is provided thereon with a polyethylene (PE) sheath having markers at each cm.
