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.

Chain for transmitting movement between actuators and the base of a member for driving a movable element

The robot for arteriography comprises a fixed base and a movable receptacle. The receptacle comprises a recipient receiving an elongate flexible member. A drive system drives the receptacle relative to the base. The receptacle comprises a drive module rigidly connected to the elongate flexible member in translation in operational configuration of the robot. The drive module is actuated in order to generate a rotational movement of the elongate flexible member.

Robotic system for arteriography, robot and rotary drive part for such a robotic system

The invention concerns a module for guiding an elongate medical part along an elongation axis for a robotic system comprising: mobile apparatus mounted so as to rotate relative to a base about a rotational axis, and defining a space for receiving the elongate medical part, and comprising a rotational guiding system comprising a passage region for the elongate medical part corresponding to the location of the passage of the elongate medical part through the mobile apparatus, and a plurality of rotary guiding portions distributed about the rotational axis, and access aperture comprising an angular aperture of at least 30&#xb0;.

Elongate medical part guide module

The invention relates to a robotic module for driving a catheterization system, which includes a base and a movable element rotatably mounted, relative to the base, about a rotation axle. The movable element includes: a mounting having a surface for rotating about the axle, the rotating surface comprising an access opening; a transfer system including a fixed part supported by the base and a mobile part for translating the catheter, supported by the mounting, the mobile part having an access opening. The access opening of the mobile part is aligned with the access opening of the rotating surface, regardless of the relative orientation of the mounting and of the base.
