Abstract
Module for driving an elongated flexible medical device in a first direction, comprising: a channel, on each side of the channel: a first and a second pulley comprising a drive surface, an elongated strip comprising a first face and an opposite second face, the first face cooperating with the drive surface of the pulleys, the second face cooperating with the flexible medical device, the strip being stretched by the pulleys with an elongated portion extending into the channel along the first direction, at least one of the pulleys being motorized.
Claims17
Module for driving an elongated flexible medical device in a first direction, comprising a base and a movable assembly mounted to rotate on said base about the first direction, the movable assembly comprising a support,
- wherein the module comprises:
- a channel formed in the support, extending in the first direction,
- on each side of the channel:
- at least a first and a second pulley, having a drive surface and borne by the support,
- an elongated strip comprising a first face and an opposite second face, the first face cooperating with the drive surface of the pulleys, the second face adapted to cooperate with the flexible medical device, the strip being stretched by the pulleys with an elongated portion extending into the channel in the first direction,
- at least one of the pulleys being motorized.
Robotic arteriography system comprising:
- a base equipped with a first transmission device,
- a module for driving an elongated flexible medical device in a direction of extension, comprising:
- a second transmission device suitable for cooperating with the first transmission device,
- at least one drive device connected to the second transmission device, and suitable for cooperating with an elongated flexible medical device in order to alternately maintaining said medical device stationary relative to the base or to move said medical device in the direction of extension,
- a sterility barrier covering the base, the first and second transmission devices cooperating through the sterility barrier,
- wherein the drive module is composed of a set of disposable parts, a set of sterilizable parts, and a set of elastically deformable assembly parts, said sterilizable parts being held together with freedom of movement by said assembly parts.
Robotic catheterization system comprising:
- a central processing unit,
- at least a first, second, and third control line respectively suitable for sending a command to a first, second, and third drive motor for the same catheter,
- wherein the first and second control lines are controlled according to a first predetermined ratio to control a pure translation movement of the catheter along its axis, and wherein the first and third control lines are controlled according to a second predetermined ratio in order to command a pure rotation movement of the catheter along its axis.
Drive module comprising a base and a movable assembly mounted to rotate on said base about the first direction, wherein the movable assembly comprises:
- a bottom part comprising at least one drive shaft, and
- a disposable part in which said channel is formed, the disposable part comprising at least said pulleys, the disposable part being assemblable on the bottom part, the motorized pulley cooperating with said drive shaft.
Drive module for driving an elongated flexible medical device in a first direction, comprising a base and a movable assembly mounted to rotate on said base about a first axis extending in the first direction, the movable assembly comprising a support,
- wherein the module comprises:
- a channel formed in the support and extending in the first direction,
- on each side of the channel:
- at least a first and a second drive device borne by the support, each having a face suitable for cooperating with the flexible medical device,
- wherein said channel comprises a portion along a second axis, parallel to the first axis and offset relative to it.
