Instructions for use
I need the experts in medical terms, medical devices, to clarify the term "deflectable".
I've seen it translated into Spanish as "deflectable" but I don't think this term is correct, or that it has been accepted by the various Academies....
Me parece a mí que el término correcto debería ser "deflector" o "desviable" o tal vez "plegable" pero no encuentro ninguna referencia al respecto.
¿Puede alguien especializado en el campo de instrumentos médicos confirmarme el término apropiado y el término usado en España y mandar algunas referencias para confirmarlo? La traducción es para España. Muchas gracias.

catéter guía universal de punta orientable
I recently had to translate this term and after reading the description on the manufacturer's page and other sources, this was the term that I decided on.
"Deflectable" is widely used in the literature, although Spanish dictionaries do not recognize the term. The closest to it in Spanish are the "deflectores" on the wing of an airplane, but the sense of the term is not even remotely related to the operation of this device (deflectors deflect wind, the catheter tip doen't deflect anything, nor is it deflected by the bloodstream).
A synonym in English is a "guide catheter with a maneuverable tip", so I also considered "catéter guía de punta maniobrable," but it sounds pretty awful in Spanish.

Comment: "Barbara, what a wonderful explanation and beautiful way to resolve the issue. I had already turned in the translation and "gave in" to the horrible "deflectable" term. I called the client and told him to hold off because I was going to review, once again, the document. Thank you for your thorough explanation and for taking the time to answer.
Also, thank you Celia... your answer was also very plausible and much, much better than "deflectable" even though it seems it has permeated the market ;o( "

"deflectable" es, efectivamente, un calco del inglés.
