DEVICE WITH DEFLECTABLE DISTAL END AND RELATED METHODS OF USE

摘要

A deflecting method and deflecting apparatus (10) allows the distal end of a device, for example an endoscopic medical device (1), to be remotely and adjustably deflected from a straight configuration to a deflected configuration. Manipulating a proximal handle (405,409) causes the deflection, controls actuation of an end effector assembly (300) on the distal end, and straightens the deflecting apparatus (10) back to its original configuration.
