Abstract
A catheterization device including a catheter, which has a deflectable steering end, and a control device for controlling the steering end. In order to limit operating forces of the catheterization device, the control device has an energy store, which is coupled in a force-transmitting manner to a force transmission element of the control device.
Claims14
A catheterization device comprising:
- a catheter including a deflectable steering end, and a control device for controlling the deflectable steering end, wherein the control device is formed with a control arrangement which is mounted rotatably about a pivot point and which has at least one guide element arranged at a distance from the pivot point and connected in a movement-transmitting manner to the deflectable steering end,
- wherein the control device further includes an energy store, which produces an auxiliary force (H) assisting a rotation of the control arrangement, wherein the control arrangement has a force transmission element which is arranged at a distance from the pivot point and the guide element and which is coupled in a force-transmitting manner to the energy store.
