International Classification:

A61B 34/00
A61K 49/00

Abstract:

A propelling device and methods of use thereof. The device is configured to propel through a medium, using external magnetic stimuli applied thereon; the device comprises: a propelling-element and a magnet in communication with the propelling element. The magnet is configured to respond to the applied magnetic stimuli and to rotate the propelling-element; the propelling-element is configured to convert rotary motion thereof into translation motion, and thereby to propel the device through the medium.

International Classification:

H01F 7/02
H02K 41/03

Abstract:

This invention relates to apparatus for creating a magnetic field to propel a magnetic device within a diverse media including biological matrices, tissues, organs, animals and humans. In one embodiment, a cylindrical dual Halbach array provides a uniform magnetic field with a settable field direction. Another embodiment provides support and orientation apparatus for a controlled-gradient conical magnet to achieve a full 4π steradian solid angle coverage around the specimen.

International Classification:

A61M 25/01
A61M 25/00
A61B 10/02

Abstract:

An insertion and retraction device is described for delivery and removal of a microparticle from target tissue. The device comprises a magnetic or magnetizable needle or cannula having a distal end, a proximal end and a lumen adapted to convey microparticles; a tubular catheter receiving the needle or cannula; a pressure device adapted for delivery of microparticles through the needle or cannula lumen by pressure; a magnetic field modulator adapted to move the needle or cannula by modulation of a magnetic field; and a magnetic sensor positioned toward the distal end of the tubular catheter responsive to a magnetic moment of the microparticle.
