Besides, it appears in practise that the action of the known micro motor can be disturbed if a guide wire is inserted into the capil ⁇ lary tube or if, for example, ferriferous material is present in the vicinity of the micro motor.
  • a micro motor of the type according to the invention named in the opening paragraph is charac ⁇ terized in that the stator consists of self-supporting current conductor paths, one end of each of the current conductor paths being attached to the connector.

Le micromoteur comporte également un connecteur pour raccorder électriquement le stator à une source de courant. Le stator est constitué de chemins conducteurs de courant autonomes, une extrémité de chacun de ces chemins conducteurs étant fixée au connecteur. De préférence, une extrémité de l'arbre de rotor est supportée dans le connecteur et l'autre extrémité est supportée dans l'autre extrémité du stator. L'invention concerne également un fil de guidage équipé d'un tel micromoteur, notamment pour guider des cathéters. Au voisinage d'une extrémité du fil de guidage, un boîtier constitué d'un matériau laissant passer des ondes sonores est intégré à ce fil. A l'intérieur de ce boîtier sont disposés un miroir acoustique rotatif, des organes dotés d'éléments de connexion électrique et permettant de produire des ondes sonores et de recevoir des échos de ces dernières, ainsi qu'un micromoteur permettant la rotation du miroir acoustique. Le fil de guidage comporte des conducteurs filaires destinés au raccordement électrique, avec son autre extrémité, du connecteur du micromoteur et des éléments de connexion électrique.
