Abstract
An integrated torque assembly for optical coherence tomography includes an optical fiber cable having an optical fiber surrounded by an outer jacket. An optical probe is operably attached to the distal end of the optical fiber cable. The outer jacket includes outwardly extending protrusions. The optical fiber cable and optical probe are operably disposed within an interior of a guide tube having an inner surface. The protrusions reduce the amount of surface area the optical fiber cable presents to the guide tube inner surface and thus reduces friction during operation.
