Patent ID: 7931616

Claim:
A deflectable catheter comprising: an elongated catheter body; a deflectable section distal the catheter body; a control handle proximal the catheter body, the control handle having a deflection assembly including a lever structure configured to rotate about a first axis of rotation, the lever structure carrying at least one pulley, the at least one pulley being rotatable about a second axis of rotation, wherein the first axis of rotation is different from the second axis of rotation; a puller member responsive to operator manipulation of the deflection assembly to deflect the deflectable section, the puller member having a distal puller wire portion extending through the catheter body and into the deflectable section and a proximal tensile fiber portion trained around the pulley; a molded member in the control handle, the molded member encasing a proximal end of the puller wire portion and a distal end of the tensile fiber portion.
