Abstract

A device to induce a reversible epidural lesion is described. The device comprises an electro-catheter having a distal end, a control unit and two control wires having a first end connected near the distal end of the electro-catheter and a second end connected to the control unit. When the control unit is activated it produces a traction force on one of the two control wires which transmits the traction to the distal end, causing the bending of the distal end of the electro-catheter.
