Abstract

This paper deals with a new catheter operating system for medical applications. We developed a highly precise remote control system by using a master-slave system. In order to insure the safety of the whole system, we design a simply micro force sensor. Also we expatiate on the design concept of the system and control of the system. We also carried out the operating simulation experiments "in vitro". The experimental results indicated the proposed catheter operating system works properly, it can be controlled by tele-operation, and it can effectively improve the operability in to aneurysm with force feedback for intravascular neurosurgery.
