  • FORCE SENSING CATHETER SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230200735
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward systems and methods for detecting force applied to a distal tip of a medical catheter. In some embodiments, a medical catheter with a deformable body near a distal tip of the catheter deforms in response to a force applied at the distal tip, and a sensor detects various components of the deflection. Processor circuitry may then, based on the detected components of the deformation, determine a force applied to the distal tip of the catheter.
    Type: Application

  • Force sensing catheter system
    Patent number: 11564627
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward systems and methods for detecting force applied to a distal tip of a medical catheter. A medical catheter includes a deformable body near a distal tip of the catheter that deforms in response to a force applied at the distal tip, and a sensor detects various components of the deflection. Processor circuitry may then, based on the detected components of the deformation, determine a force applied to the distal tip of the catheter.
