A catheter having a distal end portion including a sensor responsive to the presence of a magnetic field or flux of a predetermined strength is provided. Also provided is a catheter system which further includes an external magnet. The sensor in the distal end portion is selected to respond when the distal end portion of the catheter is exposed to a magnetic field, such as provided by the external magnet, sufficient to capture and maneuver the distal end of the catheter. A catheter having a distal end portion that includes a steering portion for maneuvering the distal end of the catheter during intubation of a patient is also provided. A method for intubating a patient using the catheter systems provided, including an external magnet, is also disclosed.

Cette invention concerne un cathéter dont la partie d'extrémité distale comprend un capteur qui va réagir à la présence d'un champ ou d'un flux magnétique d'une intensité prédéterminée. Cette invention concerne également un système de cathéter qui comprend en outre un aimant externe. Le capteur situé dans la partie d'extrémité distale est choisi de manière à réagir lorsque ladite partie d'extrémité distale du cathéter est exposée à un champ magnétique, comme celui généré par l'aimant externe, qui est suffisant pour la capturer et la faire manoeuvrer. Cette invention concerne aussi un cathéter dont la partie d'extrémité distale comprend une partie directionnelle qui permet de la manoeuvrer lors de l'intubation d'un patient. Cette invention concerne enfin un procédé d'intubation d'un patient à l'aide des systèmes de cathéters susmentionnés et comportant un aimant externe.
