Elliptical-like cross-section ionic polymer-metal composite actuator for catheter surgery

•We proposed novel IPMC catheter design for surgery.•It has track-shaped cross-section which has lower second moment of area than true-circle tube.•We measured the displacement of IPMC catheter by camera measurement system.•The tip of the catheter moved by 1.67mm for applied voltages of 2V. Catheter...
