  • MRI compatible handle and steerable sheath
    Patent number: 9192743
    Abstract: A method of using a MR compatible deflectable catheter is provided. The MR compatible deflectable catheter includes a steerable sheath having a tubular shaft. The tubular shaft receives first and second longitudinal movement wires at a distal end thereof. A control handle is coupled to a proximal end of the first and second longitudinal movement wires and causes longitudinal movement of the wires. Longitudinal movement of the wires causes the catheter to deflect approximately 180 degrees.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 24, 2015
    Assignee: IMRICOR MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.
