Claim:
1. A deflectable catheter comprising: an elongated catheter body having an outer wall, proximal and distal ends, and at least one lumen extending therethrough; a distal tip section comprising a flexible tubing having a proximal end and a distal end and a plurality of lumens extending therethrough, the proximal end of the tip section being fixedly attached to the distal end of the catheter body, the distal tip section further comprising a nitinol tube having slots formed therein; and a puller wire extending through the elongated catheter body and distal tip section, wherein the nitinol tube and the puller wire are configured such that a single longitudinal movement of the puller wire effects both a proximal deflection in the elongated catheter body and a distal deflection in the distal tip section.
