    摘要: Intravascular delivery system is designed for a safe and efficient access to secondary and tertiary vascular structures, such as the branches of the coronary sinus, to enhance the delivery and deployment of various catheters, such as, for example, pacemaker electrical leads. The over-the-wire system features a straight, or alternatively shaped, micro-catheter distal tip of an inner catheter that seamlessly cooperates with a peel-away reinforced outer catheter. The inner catheter and the peel-away reinforced outer catheter are advanced in their engaged mode of operation towards (or beyond) the target site. Subsequently, the inner and outer catheters are disengaged, and the inner catheter is removed from the outer catheter. A pacemaker lead may be advanced over the wire inside the outer catheter to the target site for deployment. Subsequently, the outer catheter is easily split and may be rapidly removed from the blood vessel.

    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for robotically assisted implantation of an implant in a patient. A system includes an implant-positioning unit configured to engage an elongate member of the implant, and a control console communicatively coupled to the external positioning unit. The control console can have a user interface that enables a user to input motion control instructions. The control console can generate a motion control signal, according to a specific motion control instruction, to control the external positioning unit to propel the implant into a target implant site. The system can be used to robotically control the delivery and positing of a cochlear implant during a hearing-preservation cochlear implant surgery.

    摘要: The present technology is generally directed to delivery systems for medical implants, such as stimulation assemblies for stimulating tissue of a human patent, and associated methods. In some embodiments, a delivery system includes (i) an elongate sheath having a distal portion with a distal opening, (ii) an attachment mechanism positioned within the elongate sheath and configured to be releasably coupled to an electrical stimulation implant, and (iii) an elongate optical component movably positioned within the elongate sheath. The optical component is configured to capture image data, and is movable from a first configuration to a second configuration. In the first configuration, the optical component is positioned proximally of the implant. In the second configuration, the optical component is positioned at least partially adjacent to the implant to capture image data proximate the distal opening, thereby facilitating direct visualization of a target location for implantation of the implant.
