ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a medical assembly comprising an elongated flexible medical device, such as a cardiac lead, and a torquing member, such as a stylet, slidably receivable inside the medical device. The device and member are coupled at their distal ends by a corresponding set of opposing curves. This coupling allows more precise rotational control of the assembly when it is manipulated at its proximal end. In one embodiment, the assembly has a open curvature at its distal end. In another embodiment, the distal end has a closed curvature.
