Abstract
A steering configuration for facilitating steering of a catheter or the like provided with a rigid distal device employs a flexible support element to which a rigid device is attached at its distal end. At least one elongated flexible control element is configured such that tension applied to the control element causes flexing of the flexible support element. The control element is directly attached to the rigid device, thereby rendering the rigid device an operative extension of the steering mechanism.
