Abstract

A system for controlling displacement of an intervention device having an end for inserting in a patient body, including a base in a fixed position relative to the patient. A first portion has an arc member and is pivotally mounted on the base around a first axis (A1). A second portion includes a support member and a carrier member. The support member partially rotates around a second axis (A2). A third portion includes a holding member, and a sliding member mounted on the support member along a translation axis (AT). The holding member is arranged so that translation of the sliding member causes the intervention device to translate along a third axis (A3). The third axis (A3) is parallel to and offset from the translation axis (AT). When the carrier member is positioned halfway of the arc member, the first (A1), second (A2) and third (A3) axes are orthogonal.
