FORCE AND TORQUE JIG

Abstract: apparatus for calibrating a catheter, consisting of a jig having a base defining a first axis orthogonal to the base. a frame is coupled to the base, and is configured to rotate about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. a catheter support is coupled to the frame and is configured to retain the catheter and to rotate the catheter about a third axis orthogonal to the second axis. the jig also has a gauge that is coupled to the base and to a distal end assembly of the t catheter. the gauge is configured to provide an indication of a force on the distal end assembly in response to translation of the distal end assembly along the first axis.
