The invention concerns a cassette comprising a sterile barrier. The sterile barrier comprises attachment brackets each attached to a drive member for driving an elongate flexible medical device, and flexible portions between two adjacent attachment brackets. The flexible portions are connected to the attachment brackets. The drive surfaces of the attachment brackets come into contact with the elongate flexible medical device.

Robotized module for guiding an elongate flexible medical device

Disclosed is a module including: a base; a first drive member; and a second drive member. The second drive member is also mounted so as to be movable relative to the first drive member, in a degree of freedom other than rotational about the second axis, between a first and a second configuration. A motion transmission system transmits the driving movement generated by the drive motor to the second drive member in order to rotate the second drive member about the second axis between the first and second configurations.

Robotizable module for driving an elongated flexible medical member, medical robot and system including such a module

Disclosed is a robotic method for driving a catheter and a catheter guide, controlling a group of driving members and including: &#x2014;a first operating mode in which the group of driving members moves the guide forward in translation; a second operating mode in which the group of driving members turns the guide about itself, the method also including a third operating mode in which the group of driving members simultaneously moves the guide forward in translation and turns the guide about itself, alternating between one direction and another.

Robotic method for driving a catheter and a catheter guide

Disclosed is a movement transmission chain including: a base of a driving member for driving a movable element; and three actuators controlling the base of the driving member in three movement directions orthogonal to one another, by element of three interfaces with the base of the driving member, the mid-surfaces of the three interfaces intersecting in a central region of the base of the driving member.
