Abstract

A robotic catheter system includes an instrument driver in communication with a controller and having an elongate instrument interface including a plurality of instrument drive elements responsive to control signals generated, at least in part, by user input through a master input device operatively coupled to the controller, and an elongate instrument having a guide instrument base operatively coupled to the guide instrument interface. The elongate instrument comprises additional lumens to accommodate instruments such as an optics bundle, a light bundle, a laser fiber, and flush irrigation. The working lumen preferably is configured to accommodate a grasping or capturing tool, such as a collapsible basket or grasper, for use in procedures such as kidney stone interventions.
