Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) comprenant un cathéter (18) et un instrument médical (20). Le cathéter comprend une partie interne et une butée de cathéter (36) à l'intérieur de la partie interne. L'instrument médical comprend une partie externe et une butée d'instrument médical (38) sur la partie externe. L'instrument médical est supporté de façon mobile dans la partie interne du cathéter et, une fois que l'instrument médical est déplacé et que la butée d'instrument médical entre en contact avec la butée de cathéter, un autre mouvement de l'instrument médical amène le cathéter à se déplacer avec l'instrument médical.
