Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is a guide wire migration controller device. The device includes a housing, a gripper insertable in the housing and a locking member for keeping the gripper within the housing. The gripper grips a guide wire operated by a motor drive unit. The gripper limits the migrational movement of the guide wire by gripping the guide wire and limiting the movement to the amount of tolerance between the gripper and the housing and locking member. The gripper rotates freely within the housing depending upon the rotational movement of the catheter torque cable wire. In a preferred embodiment the migrational movement of the guide wire along its longitudinal axis is translated into slidable movement of the controller relative to the motor drive unit.
