A medical device (100) enables a user to bend it into a shape to suit a specific patient need or to orient efficiently the medical device for use. The medical device (100) includes an elongate member (104), a mechanism (109), and an actuator (110). The mechanism (109) is disposed at the distal portion of the elongate member (104). The actuator (110) is at least partially disposed within the elongate member (104) and coupled to the mechanism (109) for actuating the mechanism relative to the elongate member. The elongate member (104) is capable of being bent into a shape by the user and of retaining the shape during use. The shape may include multiple bends, in multiple directions, as needed for an application. Thereafter, the elongate member is capable of being bent into a second shape by the user and of maintaining the second shape during use.

L'invention porte sur un dispositif médical pouvant être courbé par l'utilisateur pour prendre une forme spécifiquement adaptée aux besoins d'un patient, ou en facilitant l'orientation. Le dispositif médical présente un élément allongé, un actionneur et un mécanisme placé à l'extrémité distale de l'élément allongé. L'actionneur est au moins en partie placé dans l'élément allongé et relié au mécanisme pour l'actionner par rapport à l'élément allongé qui peut être courbé par l'utilisateur pour prendre une certaine forme qui se conserve pendant l'utilisation. Une telle forme peut comporter plusieurs courbures dans des directions différentes en fonction des nécessités d'utilisation. L'utilisateur peut ensuite donner à l'élément allongé une autre forme en vue d'une nouvelle utilisation.
