More Information
Summary:A steerable medical device includes an elongate tool, and a handle, and a steering assembly. The handle is mounted to the tool and has a handle body and a knob that is rotatable with respect to the handle body. The steering assembly includes at least a first spool housed within the handle body and coupled to the knob, and at least first control wire windable about the first spool and coupled to the tool. Rotation of the knob with respect to the handle body drives rotation of the first spool, rotation of the first spool cause winding of the first control wire about the first spool to tension the control wire, and tensioning of the control wire causes deflection of the tool.
