Coaxial catheter system
TL;DR: In this article, a robotic medical system comprises a user interface configured for receiving at least one command, a first drive mechanism configured to receive the outer medical implement, a second drive mechanism for receiving the inner medical implement and a linear drive arrangement mechanically coupled to the first and second drive mechanisms.
Patent
Robotically controlled medical instrument
TL;DR: In this paper, a medical instrument assembly consisting of an elongated shaft, a tool carried by the distal end of the shaft for performing a medical procedure on a patient, a plurality of controllably bendable sections spaced along the shaft and disposed proximal to the tool, and an electric controller configured, in response to the command(s), for directing the drive unit to moves the actuating elements to actuate the controllable sections.
