Original Abstract Submitted
A steerable sheath is disclosed. The steerable sheath includes an elongate member, the elongate member having a proximal portion and a distal portion terminating in a deflectable distal tip. The steerable sheath further includes a handle having a handle proximal portion and a handle distal portion that is connected to the proximal portion of the elongate member. The handle of the steerable sheath includes a knob positioned at the distal portion of the handle; a slider running through a portion of the handle having a raised thread and an inverted thread; and a position ring located proximate a position indicator, wherein rotation of the knob acts upon the raised thread to cause a linear movement of the slider which acts upon the inverted thread to cause a rotational movement of the position ring.
