STEERABLE SHAFT HAVING MICROMACHINED TUBE |
摘要 |
<p>A shaft of a steerable medical device includes a torque tube that allows the tip of the shaft to be torqued from the proximal end. In one embodiment, the torque tube includes a metal tube having a series of opposing cuts therein to form a number of axially aligned rings that are joined by spacing beams. The cuts are oriented in different directions along the length of the torque tube to allow bending in any direction and effective transfer of rotational torque.</p> |
