Dual-Coil Magnetic Guidewire Robot Enables Switchable Steering for Endovascular Navigation

Caption

By adjusting coil currents, the dual-coil tip modulates magnetic interaction under an external field to shift between dual-attraction/repulsion and spoon-shaped mode, helping the guidewire advance reliably and enter side branches more safely.
