Embodiment Construction

[0056]FIG. 1 a schematically shows an arteriography system 1 . The angiography system 1 is divided into two separate locations, the operating room 2 and the control room 3 . The control room 3 may be close to the operating room 2 and separated from it by a simple wall 4 which is either opaque to X-rays or remote from it. The equipment in the operating room 2 and the control room 3 are functionally interconnected through wired, wireless and / or through the network. Thus, preferably, the control room may be a simple area within the operating room, defined by a radiation shielding screen, thereby providing the physician with an area protected from X-ray radiation.

[0057] The operating room 2 includes an operating table 5 for receiving a patient 6 . The operating room 2 may also include a medical imager 7 , especially an X-ray imager, which includes a radiation source 8 and a detector 9 arranged on each side of the patient 6 , both movable relative to the patient 6 .

Abstract

The protective envelope (30) for a robotic module (16) for driving a flexible elongate medical element (15), intended to form a barrier between the robotic drive module (16) and the flexible elongatemedical element (15), comprises: means for fixing to the robotic module, and a guide track (32) of the flexible elongate medical element (15) having a longitudinal axis (X) and a main portion (32A) whose free surface has a concave shape, the main portion (32A) comprises a longitudinal groove (40) which is intended to receive the flexible elongate medical element (15), extends along the longitudinal axis (X) and is hollowed out in the free surface having the concave shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robotic module for driving a plurality of flexible medical elements. [0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to the insertion of guidewires, catheter introducers and catheters themselves, particularly devices used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, into arteries of patients. A catheter introducer is a small-diameter flexible, elongated medical element, usually not a hollow structure, over which a catheter is placed. Catheters are large-diameter flexible, elongated medical elements, usually hollow, that can be threaded with an introducer. Catheters can have a medical function and are usually inserted into a patient at one end, such as a tool or a specific shape. [0003] In practice, the invention is applicable to any body flexible enough to move within the physiological passage of a human patient and elongated enough to allow one end to move back and forth outside the patient's body.
