Magnetic field inductor

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a magnetic field inductor for navigating and positioning a magnetic manipulation element in a clinical environment. The magnetic field inductor including an electromagnetic coil for generating a magnetic field, the electromagnetic coil comprising at least one conductive element, for instance a copper wire, wound in a plurality of windings around a core extending in axial direction, thereby providing an outer circumferential coil element surface. The magnetic field inductor including a conduit assembly, including at least one fluid conduit for carrying a fluid coolant, the at least one fluid conduit being arranged in a pattern around the outer circumferential coil element surface of the electromagnetic coil and being configured to be in thermally conductive contact with the outer circumferential coil element surface in order to allow conduction of heat between the at least one conductive element and fluid coolant in the at least one fluid conduit.
