| Zusammenfassung: | 1. Field of the Invention
An intralumen medical device which incorporates electroactive polymer actuators into various sections of flexible medical probes results in a device capable of precisely navigating through tortuous passageways. Electroactive polymer actuators can be attached to or replace various sections of flexible medical probes and selectively activated via a controller to produce various coordinated movements or states of rigidity in the flexible medical probe. |
