To improve the management of the soft effect, this interaction eliminates the reel usually used to wind the elongated flexible medical instrument and amplifying the soft effect. However, the absence of winder causes a significant stroke of the drive module on the linear rail with the problem of sterility management throughout this length of race. The management of this sterility throughout this length of race is a prejudice to the skilled person dissuading to remove the reel.

- the absence of winder causes a significant stroke of the drive module on the linear rail with the problem of sterility management throughout this length of race.
- the management of this sterility throughout this length of race is a prejudice to the skilled person dissuading to remove the reel.
- the consumable part of the entire drive system is less important than in the case of the first subject of the invention, since there is only a part of the drive module and the sterility barrier, to the exclusion of the linear rail.
- This motorization of the linear rail is however a little more complex than the only motorization of the drive module in the case of the first subject of the invention.
- this second object of the invention proposes an elongated flexible medical instrument drive system of an elongated flexible medical instrument insertion robot, comprising: an arm, a motorized linear rail and carried by the arm, an elongated flexible medical instrument drive module, sliding along the linear rail under the effect of the sole motorization of the linear rail.
- the invention comprises one or more of the following features which can be used separately or in partial combination with each other or in total combination with each other, not only with the object of the invention mentioned above, but also with all the objects of the invention mentioned in the remainder of the patent application.
- the elongated flexible medical instrument drive module comprises two parts separable from one another: a reusable carriage sliding on the linear rail, a disposable support without contact with the linear rail, this support being preferably for single use, resulting in the elongated flexible medical instrument.
- the drive system also comprises a sterile consumable barrier passing between the reusable carriage and the disposable support secured to each other.
- a sterile consumable barrier passing between the reusable carriage and the disposable support secured to each other.
- the sterile consumable barrier passing between the reusable carriage and the disposable support joined together, which also encompasses the entire arm.
- the consumable part of the drive module is completely isolated, in a sterile manner, not only from the non-consumable part of the drive module, but also from the rest of the drive system which is also non-consumable, and this with the use of a single sterile barrier and not two sterile barriers as in the first subject of the invention.
- the motorized drive module contains a catheter drive module and a drive module of the guide in translation and in rotation.
- the movement of the guide can be decoupled from that of the catheter, allowing the guide to play its full role by sending it in front of the catheter, pass through and pass through all the difficult areas, allowing the catheter to progress smoothly, regularly and effective.
- the elongated flexible medical instrument is a catheter and / or guide.
- a third object of the invention concerns, in the elongated flexible medical instrument insertion robot, the protection of the sterile nature of an interaction between the drive module and the rail on which it slides, or of an interaction between module drive and robotic arm at the end of which it evolves.
- this interaction eliminates the reel usually used to wrap the elongated soft medical instrument and amplifying the softness effect.
- the removal of the reel causes a significant stroke of the drive module on the linear rail or robotic arm end with the problem of sterility management over this entire race length.
- the management of this sterility throughout this length of race is a prejudice to the skilled person dissuading to remove the reel.
- This third subject of the invention facilitates and improves the management of this sterility.

- This connection 60 is finally and above all a security, if the patient came to move suddenly, because it allows the separation between the drive system and the patient without pulling the arterial introducer 8.
- the sleeve 65 is brought into close contact with the arterial introducer 8 already in place during the approach operation and manual implementation of the drive system. Then the two parts 62 of the connector 60 (as shown in Figure 6A), previously assembled are closed on the arterial introducer 8 and the sleeve 65 to ensure the relative maintenance.
- the combination of the central clips 63 and lateral clips 64, with their respective tensile strengths, will allow a disconnection in case of accidental effort too important ensuring the safety of the patient and also a disconnection, this time non-accidental , in view of the introduction and withdrawal of the drive system, while the presence of the sleeve 65 will allow adaptation to different morphologies arterial introducer 8 and the guarantee of a good connection, that is to say that is to say a connection having only a limited empty space between the arterial introducer 8 and the sleeve 65.
