    Abstract: This invention is directed to a flexible device, a first elongate member configured to move the flexible device in a first direction, and a second elongate member configured to move the flexible device in a second direction. The flexible device can include a plurality of articulation links, wherein at least one of the plurality of articulation links can include a body configured to receive the first elongate member and the second elongate member. A cinching element may engage the first elongate member to substantially limit movement between the plurality of articulation links when a tensile force is applied to the first elongate member and may disengage the first elongate member to permit movement between the plurality of articulation links when a tensile force is applied to the second elongate member.

    Abstract: A light weight battery powered x-ray source capable of producing high intensity x-ray emissions with low power consumption. A modular construction locates all high voltage components including the x-ray tube, spark gap trigger, spiral capacitor and the secondary of a step-up transformer in a sealed canister which can be decoupled both mechanically and electrically by unscrewing a simple threaded coupling. A center module contains the primary of the step-up transformer, circuit boards for electronic components and a pulse counter/selector. A battery pack with rechargeable Nicad batteries is removably connectable to the center module. High intensity pulses are achieved in part by connecting the spiral capacitor at midlength to the spark gap trigger. An improved x-ray tube with light weight but effective lead shielding and an overall length of less than two inches is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A steerable device, such as a steerable catheter, may include a control handle and an insertion shaft extending outwardly therefrom. In use, the insertion shaft is navigated to an area of interest for examination and/or treatment thereof. The steerable device may include a steering system that controls the deflection angle of the distal end of the insertion shaft in two or more non-planar directions for navigating the insertion shaft to the area of interest. The steering system may also include a locking mechanism for arresting or partially arresting the movement of the distal end of the insertion shaft in a first direction independent of arresting or partially arresting the movement of the distal end in a second non-planar direction.

    Abstract: This invention is directed to a medical device having an elongate shaft having a distal end and a controller coupled to the shaft. A control member can extend through at least part of the elongate shaft and at least part of the controller, wherein the control member in a tensioned configuration can be moveable by the controller to control the distal end of the shaft and the control member can be slack in an untensioned configuration. A tensioning mechanism can be configured to move relative to at least one of the elongate shaft and the controller to tension the control member and automatically lock the control member in the tensioned configuration.
