Enhanced torque steerable guidewire

Philippe Renaud, Guillaume Cédric Yves Petitpierre, Marc Jasper Boers, Colin Darbellay

The invention provides for a steerable guidewire for insertion into a body cavity, characterized in that it comprises an elongated body (101) defining a longitudinally-arranged lumen (200) comprising i) a proximal end portion (100) and ii) a distal end por ...

Steerable device and system

Philippe Renaud, Guillaume Cédric Yves Petitpierre, Marc Jasper Boers

A steerable device for use as e.g. a guidewire for insertion into a subject's body is disclosed. The device features a single side deflection of a bendable portion located at its distal end by application of a longitudinally-directed force either on an inn ...
