Zusammenfassung: | A steerable catheter including a flexible elongate tube having control line lumens disposed between the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface and extending along a length of the elongate tube. The catheter further includes an anchor disposed at a distal end of the elongate tube. The catheter further includes continuous control lines, extending through the control line lumens. A portion of each of the continuous control lines is secured at the anchor so that retraction toward a proximal end of the elongate tube of ends of the continuous control lines causes movement of the distal end of the elongate tube in two directions in two orthogonal planes of movement. |
