Abstract:
A steering mechanism may comprise an actuation system for one-fingered operation by a user, the system configured to move at least a distal portion of the medical device such that 360 degree articulation is achievable, and a housing coupled to the system, the housing having proximal and distal ends. The system may comprise a first lever rotatable about a first axis, the first lever coupled to a first cam and configured to move the first cam from a first position to a second position when rotated about the first axis to deflect the distal portion; and a second lever rotatable about a second axis, the second lever coupled to a second cam and configured to move the second cam from a first position to a second position when rotated about the second axis to deflect the distal portion, wherein the first lever is coupled to the second lever.

Claim (Index 28):
The medical device of  claim 21 , wherein at least one of the first positioning element or the second positioning element includes a free end that moves angularly over a portion of the proximal portion relative to either the first location or the second location, and wherein at least one of the first positioning element or the second positioning element conforms to a shape of the proximal portion.
