Drive systems and methods of use

A medical system, comprising:

• a control member comprising an ambidextrous control handle coupled to a control mechanism, the handle having a first orientation relative to the control mechanism in a right-handed configuration, and a second orientation relative to the control mechanism in a left-handed configuration, wherein the handle includes a first mating feature and a second mating feature each complementary to, and detachable from, the control mechanism;
• and
• a catheter including an articulation section;
• wherein the control mechanism is configured to transmit force applied on the handle to the catheter to articulate the articulation section,
• wherein, in the first orientation, the first mating feature is connected to the control mechanism without connecting the second mating feature to the control mechanism, and in the second orientation, the second mating feature is connected to the control mechanism without connecting the first mating feature to the control mechanism.

A medical system, comprising:

• a control member comprising an ambidextrous control handle coupled to a control mechanism;
• and
• a catheter comprising a body that includes a plurality of cut-out sections separated by flexible hinges that form an articulation section, wherein the body bends at the hinges in response to tension transmitted by the control mechanism, the catheter including at least one channel extending through the articulation section,
• wherein the handle is coupled to the control mechanism, the handle having a first orientation relative to the control mechanism in a right-handed configuration, and a second orientation relative to the control mechanism in a left-handed configuration, wherein the handle is configured to transition between the first orientation and the second orientation, and
• wherein the handle includes a trigger, and transitioning between the first orientation and the second orientation changes an orientation of the trigger by 180 degrees.
