Abstract
A steerable sheath and catheter system includes a steerable sheath assembly with a camera or visual capabilities and a treatment catheter. The sheath assembly is optimized to be compatible with the treatment catheter and provides one or more working channels, and visualization capabilities during a procedure. The sheath assembly can also provide steering capabilities which allows the treatment catheter to gain access to a lumen of a subject, such as an airway, and be precisely positioned in the lumen for treatment thereof.
Claims21
A camera sheath assembly comprising:
- an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and having structure defining a working channel extending from the proximal end to the distal end;
- a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft, the handle being configured to operably couple to a treatment catheter;
- a visualization assembly coupled to the second end of the shaft, the visualization assembly including at least one camera and at least one source of light;
- and
- at least one pull wire configured to direct the distal end in one or a plurality of directions.
