Development of a smart guide wire using an electrostrictive polymer: option for steerable orientation and force feedback
The development of steerable guide wire or catheter designs has been strongly limited by the lack of enabling actuator technologies. This paper presents the properties of an electrostrive actuator technology for steerable actuation. By carefully tailoring material properties and the actuator design,...
