Abstract: The present teachings provide an articulation catheter configured to be activated by electric energy. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provide a catheter body with a central axial lumen for delivering a medical device, and a plurality of peripheral lumens for articulation wires. The articulating wires join an energy source that controls the activation. The articulation wires are made of a conductive portion and an articulating portion made of shape memory material. The conductive portion of the articulating wire transfers electric energy to the articulating portion of the articulating wire. The articulating portion of the articulating wire transitions into its pre-programmed shape upon resistance heating caused by the electric energy received.
