Development of a magnetic catheter with rotating multi-magnets to achieve unclogging motions with enhanced steering capability
We developed a novel magnetic catheter structure that can selectively generate steering and unclogging motions. The proposed magnetic catheter is composed of a flexible tube and two modules with ring magnets that can axially rotate in a way that enables the catheter to independently steer and unclog...
