Abstract
We proposed and developed a new type of micro valve for the hydraulic pressure driven active catheter. By using this valve, we are able to produce the safe active catheter without electricity. In this report, we simplified the structured design of the valve and increased the manufacturing reliability. Moreover, we introduced multipurpose fluid channel to the active catheter and experimentally verified the utility of the channel.
