STEERABLE MEDICAL DEVICE
Abstract:
A medical device, system, and methods of using the medical device and system are provided. Embodiments of the disclosure include a medical apparatus including a bendable body having a driving wire configured in the bendable body. A distal end of a break-out wire is attached to a proximal end of the driving wire where a distal guide tube guiding the driving wire, the distal tube ending before the break-out wire with a space. A resilient element abutting the driving wire along at least a portion of a longitudinal direction of the driving wire, and expands or contracts along the longitudinal direction of the driving wire. An actuator retracts and advances the driving wire via the break-out wire and maneuvers the bendable body, wherein the resilient element stays within the space between a proximal end of the distal guide tube and the distal end of the break-out wire.
