Magellan™ Robotic System
Great navigators need great tools.
The Magellan™ Robotic System cannulates peripheral vessels with a proprietary technology that delivers simultaneous distal tip control of a catheter and a sheath, from a centralized, remote workstation. This technology has the potential to reduce vessel trauma during navigation compared with manual techniquea and is also designed to provide a robotically stabilized conduit for the placement and delivery of therapeutic devices. The result is a new paradigm in peripheral vascular intervention.
The Magellan Robotic System is a peripheral interventional platform that, used in combination with the NorthStar™ Robotic Catheter, will have the potential to provide endovascular specialists with the following advantages:
- Vessel navigation with less trauma than manual approachesb,d
- Fast and predictable proceduresc
- Catheter stability during the delivery and placement of therapeutic devices
- Physician protection from radiation exposure and procedural fatigue
- Precise robotic control of distal catheter tips, with proprietary technologies

p.248: “The present study indicates that vessel wall damage can be reduced, despite currently being able to navigate in only 2-dimensional imaging.”
p.248: “Due to its stability, the Hansen vascular catheter moves purposefully through the vessel, thus reducing the damage it causes, as reflected in the less significant intimal thrombus and surface disruption in the robotic cases versus the manual control.”
