Abstract

UN CATETER VASCULAR TIENE UNA SECCION (14) DISTANTE DEL CENTRO MUY FLEXIBLE. SE DISPONE DE UN SISTEMA DE CONTROL BIPLANAR (10, 28) PARA HABILITAR Y CONTROLAR EL MOVIMIENTO DE LA SECCION (14) DEL CATETER DISTANTE, Y DE LA PUNTA DEL MISMO (42) EN CUALQUIER DIRECCION, EN TAL FORMA QUE LA PUNTA (42) DISTANTE PUEDA TENER ACCESO A CUALQUIER PUNTO SOBRE LA PARED DEL ALOJAMIENTO EN QUE HAYA ENTRADO. VERSIONES DEL SISTEMA DE CONTROL BIPLANAR DE DOS HILOS INCLUYEN UN HILO (62) DE CONTROL DE FLEXION VERTICAL, OPERABLE PARA QUE DESVIE LA PUNTA (42) DISTANTE DEL CATETER EN UNA FORMA CONTROLADA, EN UN PLANO VERTICAL, SUSTANCIALMENTE PARALELO AL EJE LONGITUDINAL DEL CATETER TUBULAR, E HILO (64) DE CONTROL DE FLEXION LATERAL, OPERABLE PARA DESVIAR LA PUNTA DISTANTE (42) DEL CATETER EN UNA FORMA CONTROLADA, EN UN PLANO LATERAL, SUSTANCIALMENTE PERPENDICULAR AL EJE LONGITUDINAL DEL CATETER TUBULAR. TAMBIEN SE DESCRIBE UN SISTEMA DE UN HILO, TANTO PARA EL CONTROL VERTICAL COMO EL LATERAL.
