AI Technical Summary
Existing medical device delivery cables face challenges in providing sufficient column strength and flexibility to navigate tortuous anatomy while minimizing movement and snaking during deployment, leading to unpredictability in the final position of the medical device.
A delivery cable design comprising a rigid proximal section and a flexible distal section, with a flexible inner member surrounded by a rigid proximal outer member and a flexible distal outer member, which reduces bias and snaking, ensuring predictable deployment and ease of advancement through the patient's vasculature.
The cable design enhances the predictability of medical device positioning by reducing movement and snaking, requiring less force for advancement, and maintaining column strength to navigate challenging anatomical paths.
