Embodiment Construction

[0053] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] A preferred embodiment of a telemanipulator device constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention is in Figure 1-5 Usually expressed as 50 in. The telemanipulator 50 is adapted to engage and operate a medical device. The medical device can be, for example, an electrophysiology catheter of the type comprising an elongated sheath having a handle at its proximal end, and an electrophysiology wire extending through the sheath and protruding distally. end, forming a loop. The handle preferably has controls for manipulating the distal end of the wire, eg, a translatable control for bending the distal end, and a rotatable control for expanding and deflecting the circuit. Although this preferred embodiment is described with respect to electrophysiology catheters, the invention is not limited to electrophysiology catheters, and is applicable to...

Abstract

A system for operating a catheter having a distal end adapted to be navigated in the body, and a proximal end having a handle with a translatable control and a rotatable control for acting on the distal end of the device includes a support for receiving and engaging the handle of the catheter; a translation mechanism for advancing and retracting the support to advance and retract a catheter whose handle is received in the support; a rotation mechanism for rotating the support to rotate a catheter whose handle is received in the support; a translation operator for engaging the translatable control of a catheter whose handle is received in the support and operating the translatable control to act on the distal end of the device; and a rotation operator for engaging the rotatable control of a catheter.
