Deflectable catheter shaft section

An asymmetrically deflectable catheter shaft section comprising the following:

• an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising a distal end and a proximal end;
• first and second pull wires, wherein each of the first and second pull wires has a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein each of the first and second pull wires extends along the elongated body;
• first and second pull wire liners each disposed over a portion of one of the first and second pull wires, respectively, wherein each of the first and second pull wire liners has a proximal end and a distal end;
• and
• a first gap between the proximal end of the first pull wire liner and the proximal end of the elongated body and a second gap between the proximal end of the second pull wire liner and the proximal end of the elongated body, wherein a longitudinal length of the first gap is greater than a longitudinal length of the second gap, the difference in longitudinal length of the first gap and the second gap configured to allow for asymmetric deflection of the catheter shaft section.
