Patent number: 11338110Abstract: An elongated steerable system for guiding a catheter or an endoscope, comprising: an elongated flexible member including, along at least a part of its longitudinal axis, at least one projection which, in transversal section, projects from the elongated flexible member; the at least one projection having a distal end and a proximal end, and defining, in transversal section, two lateral sides projecting from the elongated flexible member; and a wire; wherein the at least one projection includes at least one transverse retaining and passing element near the distal end of the projection, the retaining and passing element extending transversely to the lateral sides of the projection; and the wire passes through the retaining and passing element alternatively from one lateral side of the projection to the other lateral side of the projection, where adherence between the wire and the retaining and passing element retains the wire.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: BASECAMP VASCULARInventor: Jean-Baptiste Cazeneuve

Publication number: 20210353130Abstract: A steerable elongated functional system, such as a catheter or an endoscope, for internally investigating a pipe, a duct or a tube. Especially, an elongated functional system configured to be advanced in the lumen of a pipe, a duct or a tube. The system includes an elongated flexible body, at least one of a first and a second actuator, each being arranged in or on the elongated flexible body, having proximal and distal extremities, and being connectable to an energy source and configured to convey or transform energy to the elongated flexible body to cause a reversible curvature of the elongated flexible body. The elongated body includes an overlapping region where at least the proximal extremity of the first actuator overlaps with at least the distal extremity of the second actuator, and the first and second actuators are mechanically independent from one another and longitudinally offset from one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: BASECAMP VASCULARInventors: Jean-Baptiste CAZENEUVE, Camille MAIANO
