Abstract

The objective of this project was to create a handheld endoluminal intervention device. This involves taking the previous graduate team's design, a large and heavy tabletop device, and reducing the size and weight such that it could be comfortably held by a physician for an extended period of time. In addition, we needed to create a universal adapter for existing catheters which would allow a variety of catheter types and sizes to be controlled by the same electromechanical handle.
