摘要： A control handle for a steerable catheter allows for precise manipulation of the distal catheter tip in a target organ or vessel using only one hand. The control handle can have a single articulating knob capable of both linear translation along and rotation about the axis of the handle. These functions of the articulating knob actuate both the expansion and retraction of an expandable member, as well as bi-directional deflection of the distal catheter tip. The articulating knob functions with consistency regardless of the orientation of the handle, with ergonomic movements allowing the user to comfortably keep their attention on the procedure's monitoring equipment. These improvements can lead to safe and more rapid procedure times for procedures such as diagnostics and cardiac ablation.

摘要： A catheter includes a catheter body and a distal tip section that includes an elongated member that extends along a longitudinal axis. An anchor mechanism can be disposed along an outer surface of the elongated member and/or within the elongated member in a first configuration. In a second configuration, the anchor mechanism can be configured to extend radially outward with respect to the longitudinal axis to surround at least a portion of the distal tip section.
