Electrothermally Driven Hydrogel-on-Flex-Circuit Actuator for Smart Steerable Catheters
This paper reports an active catheter-tip device functionalized by integrating a temperature-responsive smart polymer onto a microfabricated flexible heater strip, targeting at enabling the controlled steering of catheters through complex vascular networks. A bimorph-like strip structure is enabled...
