Fast‐Response Variable‐Stiffness Magnetic Catheters for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Fast‐Response Variable‐Stiffness Magnetic Catheters for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Abstract In minimally invasive surgery, such as cardiac ablation, magnetically steered catheters made of variable‐stiffness materials can enable higher dexterity and higher force application to human tissue. However, the long transition time between soft and rigid states leads to a significant incre...
