Elongate Medical Part Guide Module
First Claim
1. A module for driving an elongate medical part extending along an elongation axis, for a robotic system, comprising:
- a base carrying at least one rotation control member,a mobile apparatus mounted so as to rotate relative to the base about an axis of rotation, and defining a receiving space for the elongate medical part, the mobile apparatus comprising a rotation driving system comprising a passage region for the elongate medical part corresponding to, the location for the passage of the elongate medical part through the mobile apparatus, and a plurality of rotation driving portions distributed about the axis of rotation, each suitable for cooperating with at least one rotation control member, the rotation driving portions being arranged, in a driving configuration, such that at least one of the rotation driving portions cooperates with at least one of the rotation control member regardless of the relative orientation of the mobile apparatus and the base about the axis of rotation,an access aperture extending from the receiving space between two adjacent rotation driving portions, and by which the elongate medical part is radially movable between a usage configuration where it extends into the receiving space, and an external configuration where it is external to the driving module, the access aperture having an angle of aperture of at least 30°
measured as projected onto a plane normal to the axis of rotation between two straight lines extending from the passage region to each of the two adjacent driving portions in the access configuration.

18. The driving module for driving an elongate medical part along an elongation axis, for a robotic system, wherein the driving module comprises:
-
a base, carrying at least one rotation control member, a mobile apparatus mounted so as to rotate relative to the base about an axis of rotation, and defining a receiving space for the elongate medical part, the mobile apparatus comprising a rotation driving system adapted to cooperate with at least one rotation control member, regardless of the relative orientation of the mobile apparatus and the base about the axis of rotation, the mobile apparatus comprises a removable cap that is suitable; in the assembled position, for closing an access aperture to the receiving space and for preventing radial movement of the elongate medical part between its usage configuration and its external configuration, and in the disassembled position, for opening the access aperture and enabling such movement. - View Dependent Claims (19)
