ABSTRACT:
Elongated medical devices are disclosed adapted to be inserted through an access pathway into a body vessel, organ or cavity to locate a therapeutic or diagnostic distal segment of the elongated medical device into alignment with an anatomic feature of interest. Multi-lumen steerable catheters having a deflection lumen liner and a delivery lumen liner are adapted to be deflected by a deflection mechanism within or advanced through the deflection lumen liner to enable advancement of the catheter distal end through a tortuous pathway. At least one lumen liner is formed of a no yield elastomer.
