Automated Catheter Tip Repositioning for Intra-cardiac Echocardiography [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Purpose: Intra-Cardiac Echocardiography (ICE) is a powerful imaging modality for guiding cardiac electrophysiology and structural heart interventions. ICE provides real-time observation of anatomy and devices, while enabling direct monitoring of potential complications.

Use of in vitro and haptic assessments in the characterisation of surface lubricity [PDF]
, 2018 Lubricity is a key property of hydrophilic-coated urinary catheter surfaces. In vitro tests are commonly employed for evaluation of surface properties in the development of novel catheter coating technologies, however, their value in predicting the more ...

Design and validation of zero-slack separable manipulator for Intracardiac Echocardiography [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Clinicians require substantial training and experience to become comfortable with steering Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheter to localize and measure the area of treatment to watch for complications while device catheters are deployed in another access.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Due to the tight curvature in their design, ring applicators are usually associated with large positioning errors. The standard practice to correct for these deviations based on global offsets may not be sufficient to comply with the recommended tolerance.

AI-aided Geometric Design of Anti-infection Catheters [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Bacteria can swim upstream due to hydrodynamic interactions with the fluid flow in a narrow tube, and pose a clinical threat of urinary tract infection to patients implanted with catheters. Coatings and structured surfaces have been proposed as a way to suppress bacterial contamination in catheters.
