Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the field of minimally invasive blood vessel technology, and more specifically, to a device and method for controlling guide wire clamping force of an interventional operation robot.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Minimally invasive interventional therapy for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is the main treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Compared with traditional surgery, it has obvious advantages such as small incision and short postoperative recovery time.


Cardio-cerebrovascular intervention is a process in which the doctor manually sends catheters, guide wires, and stents into the patient's body to complete the treatment.


Interventional surgery has the following two problems. First, during the operation, the DSA emits X-rays, the doctor's physical strength drop quickly, and the attention and stability will also decrease, which will cause the accuracy of the operation to decrease, and it is prone to cause improper pushing force, resulting to accidents such as vascular intimal damage, vascular perforation and rupture and endangering the lives of the patients. Second, the accumulated damage of long-term ionizing radiation will greatly increase the risk of doctors' suffering from leukemia, cancer, and acute cataracts. The phenomenon that doctors continue to accumulate radiation due to interventional surgery, which damages the professional life of doctors and restricts the development of interventional surgery, has become a problem that cannot be ignored.


The surgical method of teleoperation of catheters and guide wires with the help of robot technology can effectively cope with this problem, and can also greatly improve the accuracy and stability of the surgical operation. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the radiation damage to the interventional doctor and reduce the occurrence of intraoperative accidents. probability.
