Abstract
We proposed and developed a new type of micro valve for hydraulic pressure drive system with multi-degrees of freedom. By using this valve, we produced an active catheter for safe operation in the human blood vessel because no electrical power is needed for operation. Good safety and drive performance were verified experimentally.
