Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A deflectable vascular catheter is disclosed which includes a proximal handle assembly, an elongated sheath extending distally from the proximal handle assembly and including a deflectable distal end portion, an actuation mechanism operatively associated within an interior cavity of the proximal handle assembly for deflecting the distal end portion of the sheath, an anchor ring located at a distal end of the deflectable distal end portion of the sheath, and a pull wire extending from the actuation mechanism to the anchor ring, wherein the pull wire has a non-circular cross-section and is laser welded to an exterior surface of the anchoring ring.
