WCR

The Wireless Robotic Clot Retrieval for Vascular Intervention (WCR) project aims to develop a first-of-its-kind, wireless robotic system to improve clot retrieval procedures. This technology offers a minimally invasive, highly maneuverable alternative to traditional catheter-based methods for treating vascular occlusions, with the untethered robot navigated using X-ray-guided magnetic fields to precisely target and remove clots responsible for strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, and below-the-knee emboli.The project seeks to optimize and validate wireless robotics to advance patient outcomes and endovascular interventions.
