CATHETER STEERING ASSEMBLY PROVIDING ASYMMETRIC CURVE CONFIGURATIONS

摘要

A catheter (10) has an electrode tip assembly (16) that is bendable at the selection of the user in two different directions. The electrode tip assembly assumes different, asymmetric, predetermined configurations when bent in the two directions and is manipulated by steering wires (56, 58) adjustably and tangentially connected to the lateral edges (44, 46) of a rotatable cam (41) located in the catheter handle (12).
