Design and control of a novel gastroscope intervention mechanism with circumferentially pneumatic ‐driven clamping function

ConclusionsThe novel GIM could effectively deliver gastroscopes. The pneumatic‐driven clamping method proposed could protect the gastroscope by circumferentially uniform clamping force and the CSF could be properly controlled to guarantee operating safety. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
