Magellan Robotic Catheter 6Fr

Published on Aug 11, 2015

Video demonstrating the robotic steering capabilities of the Magellan Robotic Catheter 6Fr from Hansen Medical. The catheter has two separate bending points, and the Magellan Robotic System can be used to robotically bend the catheter up to 140 degrees at the distal end, and simultaneously bend the proximal section up to 60 degrees. In addition, 360 degree rotation at the distal end is also possible. This 3D catheter control enables this robotic catheter to mimic the shapes of a wide variety of pre-shaped, traditional endovascular catheters, offering the potential for greater precision in navigating through blood vessels, and reduced catheter exchanges during the procedure.
