  • SYSTEMS FOR RETRACTING AND ADJUSTING ELONGATE FLEXIBLE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20240024047
    Abstract: Systems for performing a medical procedure and associated methods and devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a system for performing a medical procedure includes an elongate flexible device including a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a lumen extending therebetween. The lumen is configured to receive a medical instrument positioned within a target when the elongate flexible device is positioned toward the target. The system is configured to perform operations comprising determining the pose of the distal portion of the elongate flexible device based on sensor data from a sensor system; retracting, via a control system, the elongate flexible device relative to the medical instrument and away from the target; and adjusting, via the control system, the pose of the distal portion of the elongate flexible device so the distal portion remains oriented toward the target.

  • ARTICULATION CONTROL OF FLEXIBLE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20230320711
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling articulation of a system are described. In some embodiments, a parameter related to a curvature of one or more portions of an articulable portion of elongated body may be determined. The elongated body may include a channel through which a tool may be inserted. Articulation of the articulable portion of the elongated body may be controlled based at least in part on the determined parameter in some modes of operation including when a tool is moved relative to the channel of the elongated body.
