The capabilities of catheters used in the medical industry have been steadily evolving over recent decades but we are now seeing a giant leap forward with the emerging trend of new-generation Smart-Catheters.
Smart-Catheters provide more than just a one-way conduit by incorporating two-way feedback and control mechanisms, such as sending and receiving signals between the proximal and distal ends, which enables applications to use the distal-end information to perform additional functions that are guided in real-time by the two-way feedback loops or the ability to provide energy at the distal tip for selected ablation.
