Abstract:
A catheter system includes an elongate catheter having a lumen extending at least partially therethrough, and a leading catheter end segment, a guidewire positionable within the lumen of the catheter, and fastening structure supported adjacent the leading catheter end segment. The guidewire and the catheter are adapted for relative movement. The fastening structure is dimensioned to selectively engage the guidewire to secure the guidewire with respect to the leading catheter end segment such that movement of the guidewire causes deflection of the leading end segment with respect to the longitudinal axis.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the fastening structure comprises an expandable member positioned within the second lumen and in fluid communication with the third lumen, wherein the third lumen is configured to supply fluid to the expandable member to transition the expandable member from an initial condition corresponding to a release condition of the guidewire to an expanded condition corresponding to a secured condition of the guidewire in which the fastening structure engages the guidewire to secure the guidewire with respect to the elongate catheter, wherein securing the guidewire with the fastening structure comprises supplying the fluid through the third lumen to the expandable member to transition the expandable member from the initial condition to the expanded condition.
