摘要: A steerable catheter control mechanism comprises a rotatable driver and deflection device responsive to the selectively secure pair of wires. The wires are positioned such that rotation reduces effective radius while loading selected wire in tension, thereby maintaining relatively constant torque acting on minimizing operator fatigue. is also place one tension other static state
