AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In order to accommodate the several cables used to actuate the medical device, the catheter can have a large diameter along its entire length, which can pose several challenges for medical professionals
For example, mechanically deployed systems can have difficulty navigating complex or narrow body lumens, e.g., blood vessels, arteries, etc., to accurately maneuver multiple cables running along the entire length of a catheter to control a medical device
Medical professionals may be limited in actuation control at the proximal end of the deployment system, which may result in undesirable and / or limited repeatable positioning and deployment of the medical device

Abstract

Embodiments of a deployment system may include a catheter having a distal end and a proximal end. An actuator may be disposed at the distal end of the catheter and may be operatively connected to electrical connectors extending longitudinally along the catheter from the proximal end to the actuator. The electrical connectors may be configured for transmission of signals to the actuator. One or more connections may be coupled to the actuator and to a deployable medical device disposed at the distal end of the catheter.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC §119 to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 807,564, filed February 19, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to medical device deployment systems, and more particularly to electronic controls and methods for medical device deployment systems. Background technique [0004] Medical devices, such as implants or other interventional, endoscopic surgical or urological devices, can be deployed within a patient or otherwise controlled by cables that are mechanically actuated at the proximal end of the deployment system, e.g., external to the patient . To accommodate the several cables used to actuate the medical device, the catheter may have a large diameter along its entire length, which may pose several challenges to the medical professional. For example, mechanically depl...
