An elongate medical device sized and configured for intravascular delivery within a subject, the medical device comprising:
- an outer shaft and an inner shaft disposed within the outer shaft, wherein at least one of the outer shaft and the inner shaft is moveable relative to the other;
- and
- a flexible seal secured to at least one of the inner shaft or the outer shaft, the flexible seal disposed outside of at least a portion of the inner shaft to seal off a volume of space radially adjacent the inner shaft from fluid ingress.
An elongate medical device sized and configured for intravascular delivery within a subject, the medical device comprising:
- a deflectable shaft extending distally from a handle portion of the medical device;
- and
- a flexible seal secured to the deflectable shaft, the flexible seal disposed adjacent a portion of the deflectable shaft and configured to seal off a volume of space radially adjacent the deflectable shaft from fluid ingress.
An elongate medical device sized and configured for intravascular delivery within a subject, the medical device comprising:
- an outer shaft and an inner shaft disposed within the outer shaft, wherein one or more of the outer shaft and the inner shaft may be independently controlled from the other to provide independent rotation and deflection control therebetween;
