<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catheter actuator simple to use to enable a clinician to deploy electrodes at a distal end of a catheter to enable wide area ablation to be effected. <P>SOLUTION: The catheter actuator 10 includes at least two carriers 12 and 14 displaceably arranged relative to each other. A first catheter sheath compornent of a catheter sheath assembly is connectable to a first carrier 12, and a second catheter sheath compornent is connectable to a second carrier 14. A control mechanism is carried, in use, by a catheter handle and is associated with the carriers 12 and 14 to effect relative displacement between the carriers 12 and 14 to cause displacement of a distal end of at least the first catheter sheath component between a non-deployed position and a deployed position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
