Apparatus and associated methods relate to a catheter manipulation handle with user interface controls for steering a catheter in situ while providing an augmented (e.g., motorized, powered and tunable precision steering, and perforation safeguards) control and feedback user experience. In an illustrative example, the catheter manipulation handle may provide motor assisted operation to automatically rotate and/or deflect a distal tip of the catheter to steer and guide the distal tip to a target location in the patient's vasculature system. The augmented feedback may include, for example, haptic feedback via the handle. Haptic, audible, and/or visual feedback via the handle may indicate, for example, proximity or engagement of the distal tip with sensitive tissue. In some examples, the handle's augmented operation may advantageously amplify feedback signals to enhance the user's perception of the patient's safety with respect to the safe passage of the distal tip through the patient's vasculature.

A carry strap for use on electronic display devices, such as laptop computers or tablets is disclosed herein. The carry strap includes an elongate portion configured to be worn by a user that can be attached to either a second elongate portion that supports the electronic display device or to a mantle that is adhered to the electronic display device through a mantle having an attachment vehicle. The attachment vehicle can include a structural or pressure-sensitive adhesive.
