2 results about "Steering Wire" patented technology

A steerable medical device includes an elongated tubular member having a proximal portion having a proximal end, a distal portion having a distal end, and an intermediate portion extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The elongated tubular member includes an inner sleeve having an outer surface. First and second guide members are located adjacent one another along the outer surface of the inner sleeve. A steering wire extends through the first and second guide members such that the steering wire distal portion is in the first guide member, the steering wire proximal portion is in the second guide member, and the intermediate portion includes an exposed intermediate portion between the first guide member and the second guide member.

A steerable medical device (200) includes an elongated tubular member (202) having a proximal portion (204) having a proximal end (206), a distal portion (208) having a distal end (210), and an intermediate portion (212) extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The elongated tubular member includes an inner sleeve (218) having an outer surface (220). First and second guide members (224, 226) are located adjacent one another along the outer surface of the inner sleeve. A steering wire (228) extends through the first and second guide members such that the steering wire distal portion is in the first guide member, the steering wire proximal portion is in the second guide member, and the intermediate portion includes an exposed intermediate portion between the first guide member and the second guide member.
