COAST, developed in Coulter BME, improves surgical precision for procedures like angioplasty.
BME researcher Jaydev Desai led development of COAST, the world's smallest steerable robotic guidewire.
The Coaxially Aligned Steerable Guidewire Robot (COAST) is an innovative surgical device, controlled remotely, that helps doctors navigate the body’s complex network of blood vessels, providing greater accuracy and reducing risks during procedures such as angioplasty. COAST was developed by Coulter BME researcher Jaydev Desai and his team in the Medical Robotics and Automation (RoboMed) Laboratory.
The invention is featured in a new animated video as a Georgia Tech Paradigm Shifter.
