1. A steering mechanism, comprising:

  • a housing extending along a longitudinal axis and including a proximal end and a distal end, the housing configured to be coupled with a steerable medical device;

    a first actuator adapted to move at least a portion of the steerable medical device in a first direction and a second direction different than the first direction along a first plane;

    the first actuator coupled to the proximal end and rotatable about the longitudinal axis; and

    a second actuator adapted to move the at least a portion of the steerable medical device in a third direction and a fourth direction different than the third direction along a second plane different than the first plane, the second actuator coupled to and moveable with respect to the first actuator along the longitudinal axis and about a second axis different than the first axis.
