    摘要: A medical manipulation assembly comprises a catheter including distal and proximal steerable portions with working channels. The assembly further comprises a steerable sheath through which the steerable portions extend. A distal steering mechanism, including a first lumen extending along a longitudinal axis of the catheter, bends the distal steerable portion. A proximal steering mechanism, including a second lumen extending along the axis and defined by a wall, bends the proximal steerable portion by rotational movement of the proximal steering mechanism independently of the distal steerable portion. The wall is rotatable about the axis. Distal pullwires extend between the distal steerable portion and the distal steering mechanism. Proximal pullwires extend between the proximal steerable portion and the proximal steering mechanism. The second lumen is axially aligned with an access lumen extending proximally from the proximal steering mechanism through which the distal and proximal working channels may receive a visualization instrument.

    摘要: A system comprises a deployment catheter defining at least one lumen and a hood projecting distally from the deployment catheter and defining an open area. The open area is in direct fluid communication with the at least one lumen. The system also comprises an elongate channel directly coupled to the hood such that the elongate channel terminates distally into the open area. The elongate channel extends proximally from an outer surface of the hood and is bounded proximally at a proximal pocket surface. The system also comprises an imaging element. The imaging element is sized to pass into the elongated channel at a distal end of the elongate channel. Proximal movement within the elongated channel is restricted by the proximal pocket surface. The system also comprises a control member extending within the elongate channel and through the proximal pocket surface for moving the imaging element through the elongate channel.
