Abstract
An articulation joint for a medical device includes a proximal longitudinal section, a distal longitudinal section, and a locking wire. The proximal longitudinal section defines a lumen and includes proximal articulation links. Each proximal articulation link has a contact surface abutting a contact surface of an adjacent proximal articulation link when the articulation joint is in a straight configuration. The distal longitudinal section is distal to the proximal longitudinal section and includes distal articulation links configured to bend in the first direction. The locking wire extends through the lumen adjacent the contact surfaces of the proximal articulation links. A distal end of the locking wire is fixed to a distal articulation link, and tensioning of the locking wire prevents bending of the proximal longitudinal section in the first direction and allows bending of the distal longitudinal section in the first direction.
