Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

A NEW TECHNIQUE TO REMOVE A "stuck" TOTALLY IMPLANTABLE VENOUS ACCESS CATHETER
, 2011 Removal of a totally implantable venous access device (port) is usually a simple procedure. however, if a catheter has been in place for a very long period, it may adhere firmly to the vessel wall.

3D‐Nanoprinted Fluidically Steerable Soft Robotic Microcatheters
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a ∼3‐French (1 mm‐in‐diameter) soft robotic microcatheter fabricated by means of two‐photon direct laser writing. The 3D‐printed microcatheter enables remote, on‐demand steering via microfluidic actuation for guidewire‐free navigation of vascular networks as well as microcatheter‐mediated delivery of fluidic payloads to target ...
