Abstract
A balloon catheter is provided that may be used to maneuver around tortuous body lumens. The balloon catheter comprises one or more balloons disposed about a tip of the shaft. Each balloon includes a dedicated lumen to allow inflation of each balloon independent of the others. Inflation of a balloon causes the shaft tip to deflect in a direction that is oriented opposite of the inflated balloon. The bent orientation of the shaft tip allows the catheter and a guide wire to be maneuvered through tortuous body lumens.
