A steerable catheter is provided. The catheter comprises an elongated, flexible tubular catheter body having proximal and distal ends and a lumen extending therethrough and a control handle at the proximal end of the catheter body. The control handle comprises a handle housing having a generally hollow interior and fixedly attached, either directly or indirectly to the catheter body; a piston slidably mounted in the handle housing and having proximal and distal ends; and a pulley fixedly attached, either directly or indirectly to the handle housing at a location proximal to the proximal end of the piston. A first puller wire is provided having a distal end fixedly attached in the distal end of the catheter body and a proximal end anchored to the piston. A second puller wire is provided having a distal end fixedly attached in the distal end of the catheter body. The second puller wire extends through the catheter body, into the handle, and around the pulley, and the proximal end of the second puller wire is anchored to the piston.

A bidirectional steerable catheter is provided that can be deflected to form two different curves, i. e. , two curves each having a different radius of curvature. The catheter comprises an elongated, flexible tubular catheter body having proximal and distal ends and a lumen extending therethrough. A tip section is provided at the distal end of the catheter body. The tip section comprises a flexible plastic tubing having at least first and second off-axis lumens extending therethrough. A control handle is attached to the proximal end of the catheter body. A first puller wire extends through the lumen of the catheter body and the first off-axis lumen of the tip section. The first puller wire has a distal end anchored in the tip section and a proximal end anchored to the control handle. A second puller wire extends through the lumen of the catheter body and the second off-axis lumen of the tip section. The second puller wire has a distal end anchored in the tip section and a proximal end anchored to the control handle.

A deflectable catheter having a handle that can be modified pfor unidirectional or multidirectional deflection is provided. The catheter comprises an elongated, flexible tubular catheter body having proximal and distal ends and a lumen extending therethrough. A control handle is provided at the proximal end of the catheter body. The control handle comprises a handle body comprising an outer wall and a generally hollow interior, wherein the proximal end of the catheter body is fixedly attached to the handle body, a slidable puller wire anchor longitudinally movable within the interior of the handle body relative to the handle body and catheter body, a sleeve slidably mounted on the exterior of the handle body, and a selection pin fixedly attached to the sleeve and extending into the interior of the handle body proximal to the slidable puller wire anchor. In use, proximal movement of the sleeve and selection pin relative to the handle body causes the selection pin to contact the slidable puller wire anchor and move the slidable puller wire anchor proximally relative to the handle body and catheter body. The catheter further comprises a puller wire extending through the lumen of the catheter body and into the control handle.

A system for forming a purse string suture, including a suture applicator having a proximal handle, a length of suture wound on a spool, and a hollow suture needle extending from a distal end of the handle. The suture needle projects distally from the handle in a helical shape and terminates in a sharp distal tip with an opening in one side close to the distal tip. A free end of the length of suture may extend out of the distal tip and back into the hollow suture needle through the opening. The suture needle may have a deflection segment adjacent the distal tip that is more flexible than the rest of the helical distal portion of the suture needle. A linear hollow pivot shaft extends from a distal end of the handle substantially along an axis of the helical distal portion of the suture needle.

A method of treating an aircraft transparency includes applying a water repellant coating composition over a surface of an aircraft transparency substrate, the water repellant coating composition includes a non-chlorinated perfluoroalkylalkylsliane and/or a non-halogenated polyorganosiloxane. The method can include applying a primer composition having an organic solvent and a silicon material over the aircraft transparency substrate to form a primed substrate surface; applying the water repellant coating composition over the primed substrate surface; and heating the water repellant coating composition to form a water repellant coating.
