Claim 0:
1. A medical device, comprising:
an elongate body having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and three mutually perpendicular planes, the elongate body being aligned with a first plane of the three mutually perpendicular planes;
a first lumen aligned with the first plane and extending through the elongate body;
a first steering line and a second steering line arranged on opposite sides of the first lumen relative to a second plane of the three mutually perpendicular planes and extending along the first plane of the three mutually perpendicular planes, the first steering line and the second steering line being configured to deflect at least the distal portion of the elongate body; and
a first stiffening material and a second stiffening material spaced on opposite sides of the first lumen relative to a third plane of the three mutually perpendicular planes and extending along the first plane of the three mutually perpendicular planes, the first stiffening material and the second stiffening material being configured to bias at least the distal portion of the elongate body to substantially align with the deflection.
