Bi-Directional Asymmetric Steerable Sheath

摘要

A deflectable sheath with increased range of curvature for human use is provided. The improvement focuses on the use of different durometer polymers that compose the lumen in the portion of deflection. The use of differing durometer polymers allow the deflectable sheath to be bent in a multitude of asymmetric curvature radii therefore providing the physician with a sheath that can traverse different regions of the body than with previous sheaths.
