Abstract
A uniplanar medical steering device which includes a tubular member of a material such as stainless steel, a hinge formed by a cut-out in a wall of the tubular member and a control wire for bending a first end of the tubular member back and forth in a plane towards and away from a second end of the tubular member. A medical device such as a catheter can be provided within the tubular member and an outer member surrounding the tubular member can be used to cover the cut-out. The steering device allows accurate positioning of a medical device and prevents twisting of the medical device when bent by the control wire.
