An advanced medical microrobot system using a magnetic guidewire-microrobot and a remote-control system of 3D magnetic fields for various interventional procedures
Faster, safer, more precise steering and navigation of guidewire-microrobot inside the complex vascular network leads to faster delivery of other interventional tools (e.g., stents)
Less time-consuming treatment, higher operation success rate, no radiation exposure for medical team, no heavy radiation shielding garments required and minimal infection risk
