The Coaxially Aligned Steerable Guidewire Robot (COAST) is an innovative surgical device that helps doctors navigate the body’s complex network of blood vessels. Controlled remotely, COAST provides greater accuracy and reduces risks during procedures such as angioplasty. It’s the world’s smallest robotically steerable guidewire, designed to bend and twist smoothly without kinking, thanks to its unique micro-tendon actuation system.

Developed by Georgia Tech researcher Jaydev Desai and his team in the Medical Robotics and Automation (RoboMed) Laboratory, COAST significantly improves the safety and ease of vascular procedures. Its intuitive interface, operated like a gaming controller, could revolutionize complex medical interventions. The system is available for licensing through Georgia Tech’s Office of Technology Licensing.

The Georgia Research Alliance has provided grants and consultation to help bring this innovative technology to the marketplace.
