Summary: | The present invention relates to a catheter construction and method of use suitable for use in navigating within a body lumen or vessel, such as a vein, artery, nasal cavity, esophagus, etc. to assist in the performance of various procedures. The device can include a flexible tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, and channel extending substantially between the proximal end and the distal end, a stiffening sleeve positioned at the distal end of the tubular member to provide stiffness thereto so that a removable procedural tool can be attached to the tubular member, and an elongated non-elastic tether situated within the channel of the tubular member and secured at one end to the distal end of the member, such that when the tether is held in tension, the tether acts to minimize the tubular member from deviating from a neutral state. |
