Arkenbout, E.A. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Ali, Anas (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)Iterative prototyping is costly and time-consuming. Particularly when designing medical instruments, human factors related design choices significantly impact performance and safety. A tool is presented that allows for the evaluation of steerable instrument controls before the onset of the prototyping stage. The design tool couples gestural...journal article 2018

Ali, A. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)To overcome the challenges presented by complex 3-dimensional shapes and tortuous vasculature in the cardiovascular environment, we previously developed a prototype of a multi-steerable catheter having 4 DOFs controlled by two joysticks [1]. However, it remains unknown whether the added steering possibilities are beneficial in the cardiovascular...abstract 2017
