Abstract
A steerable medical device includes a handle having a handle body and a knob that is rotatable about a knob axis with respect to the handle body. An elongate tool extends from the handle. A steering assembly causes deflection of the tool by rotation of the knob. The steering assembly includes a slider that is housed within the handle body and is translatable within the handle body. The steering assembly further includes a control wire coupled between the slider and the tool. Translation of the slider causes tensioning of the control wire and tensioning of the control wire causes deflection of the tool. The steering assembly further includes a crank assembly coupled between the knob and the slider, to drive translation of the slider by rotation of the knob.
