Clinical & Operational Benefits

The CorPath™ Robotic PCI System is comprised of a Bedside Unit and a Physician Workstation. The system enables the physician to operate precise robotic technology from a remote and safe location. The Bedside Unit easily mounts on the side bar of all standard catheterization procedure tables and swings into position over the patient's femoral access site, it is designed to mechanically maneuver guide wires and balloon/stent systems with various motion mode options. Devices can be maneuvered rotationally, axially, or simultaneously, utilizing discrete touch screen technology. The motion mode is specified by the physician at the Physician Workstation.

With Robotic PCI the guidewire is maneuvered utilizing both a joystick and touch screen. Axial and rotational guidewire motions are achieved by exchanging a torqueing device in the physician's hand for a joystick that has similar characteristics and transmits hand movements through mechanical transmission to the CorPath™ robotic arm. There are also options for continuous mode and discrete-step wire rotations and balloon/stent placement to within 0.5 mm on the touch screen.

CorPath™ has been designed with a mechanism that locks the guidewire in position when the balloon/stent is being manipulated, and vice versa.
