  Development of an Active Catheter Mechanism using IPMC for in vivo Inspection

  By Dillip Kumar Biswal, Dibakar Bandopadhya, Santosha Kumar Dwivedy

  Abstract: An active catheter mechanism designed and developed for body parts (interiors, oral) inspection using active polymeric actuator i.e. ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC). The first step is achieved by fabricating the low cost silver (Ag) electrode IPMC following the chemical decomposition method. When a voltage is applied, the catheter yields a transverse movement; at the same time can exhibit forward and backward motion enables it to inspect wide range of …
