    摘要: A robotic catheter system includes a controller with a master input device. An instrument driver is in communication with the controller and has a elongate instrument interface including a plurality of instrument drive elements responsive to control signals generated, at least in part, by the master input device. An elongate instrument has a base, distal end, and a working lumen, wherein the guide instrument base is operatively coupled to the guide instrument interface. The elongate instrument preferably comprises and/or defines other lumens to accommodate instruments such as an optics bundle, a light bundle, a laser fiber, and flush irrigation. The working lumen preferably is configured to accommodate a grasping or capturing tool, such as a collapsible basket or grasper, for use in procedures such as kidney stone interventions. The elongate instrument includes a plurality of instrument control elements operatively coupled to respective drive elements and secured to the distal end of the instrument. The instrument control elements are axially moveable relative to the guide instrument such that movement of the guide instrument distal end may be controlled by the master input device.

    摘要: Robotic instrument systems, apparatus, and methods for controllably manipulating the rigidity of a distal portion of one or more sheath catheters advanced through an elongate sheath to controllably form a temporary, substantially rigid platform from which other robotically controlled instruments may be manipulated. The platform is formed by one or more multi-segment sheath catheters that can be controlled to be flexible during advancement and substantially rigid at the target site, thereby reducing the length of the operational lever arm of the instrument. For this purpose, a sheath catheter includes a plurality segments that interlock and do not rotate when drawn together, and are connected by a control element, the tension of which may be manipulated by a robotic instrument system to transform the sheath catheter between a flexible state during advancement through the elongate sheath and a substantially rigid state when the sheath catheter is to serve as a platform or component thereof.
