Our unique additive micromanufacturing techniques have the potential to also transform wide-ranging catheter-based procedures in IR throughout the body. In this work we demonstrate the fabrication of multi-lumen tubing with inner microfluidic channels that would allow for unidirectional actuation of our 3D printed microcatheter tip. This preliminary work serves as the basis for a steerable soft robotic microcatheter for arterial interventions in IR. We believe this can improve catheterization success rates, decrease the intervention time, and reduce the number of complications.
