Abstract:
A deflectable catheter shaft with compression resistance coils configured to create different curve shapes when the catheter is steered or deflected in different directions. One or more compression resistance coils may include an elongated-pitch section. The compression resistance coils may be pull wire compression coils or body compression coils.

Claim (Index 21):
A steerable catheter comprising\n a proximal catheter shaft section comprising a proximal end and a distal end; a distal deflectable section adjacent to the distal end of the proximal catheter shaft section the distal deflectable section comprising a proximal end and a distal end; and a first compression coil surrounding a first pull wire and extending longitudinally through the proximal catheter shaft section from the proximal end of the proximal catheter shaft section to the proximal end of the distal deflectable section, the first compression coil comprising a first distal elongated-pitch section, a second compression coil surrounding a second pull wire and extending longitudinally, parallel to the first compression coil, through the proximal catheter shaft section from the proximal end of the proximal catheter shaft section to the proximal end of the distal deflectable section, wherein, when the catheter is deflected toward the first pull wire, the catheter forms a first curve with a first radius; and wherein, when the catheter is deflected toward the second pull wire, the catheter forms a second curve with a second radius; characterized in that the first radius is greater than the second radius.
