Abstract
Various embodiments include a catheter positioning device that may include a sled member, a sled base, an active damping system, a sensor, and a control system. The sled member may be configured to accept a handle of a catheter. The sled base may be configured to move the sled member along a length of the sled base for positioning the catheter within a patient. The active damping system may be configured to apply a force to the sled base to resist movement of the sled base in response to a control signal. The sensor may be configured to generate signals in response to a movement of the sled base. The control system may be configured to receive sensor signals from the sensor and transmit control signals to cause the active damping system to apply the force to resist movement of the sled base indicated in the received sensor signals.
