    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, for example, a high-thermal-sensitivity ablation catheter tip including a thermally-insulative ablation tip insert supporting at least one temperature sensor electrically coupled to a flexible electronic circuit and encapsulated, or essentially encapsulated, by a conductive shell. Also disclosed is a method of controlling the temperature of an ablation catheter tip while creating a desired lesion using various forms of energy and energy delivery.

    摘要: A catheter with three distinct compression resistance coils, including a body coil and two pull wire coils, is disclosed. The triple coil system can provide maximal resistance to compression of the catheter's proximal shaft, as well as maximization of the curve angle that the catheter tip can achieve. Additionally, the tri-coil catheter can allow for a lower initial compression load and a more flexible proximal shaft. A gap between the outer diameter of the pull wire and the inner diameter of the pull wire compression coil that is equal to about 10-30% of inner diameter of the pull wire compression coil can provide optimal catheter performance.

    摘要: A steerable introducer has a proximal end and a distal end, and includes a steerable sheath having a proximal end and a distal end. The steerable sheath includes an outer layer extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the steerable sheath, and an inner liner disposed within the outer layer and extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the steerable sheath. A first pair of pull wires is disposed between the inner liner and the outer layer, and extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the steerable sheath. A second pair of pull wires is disposed between the inner liner and the outer layer and extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the steerable sheath.

    摘要: The instant disclosure relates to electrophysiology catheters for tissue ablation within a cardiac muscle. In particular, the instant disclosure relates to an ablation balloon and catheter shaft that deflects to conform to a shape of a target pulmonary vein receiving ablation therapy for a cardiac arrhythmia, for example. The deflection of the catheter shaft enables a lesion line along a circumference of the target pulmonary vein with improved consistency.

    摘要: A deflectable catheter shaft section is disclosed comprising an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis with a distal end and a proximal end. First and second pull wires can extend along the elongated body and can have a proximal end and a distal end. First and second pull wire liners can be disposed over a portion of one of the first and second pull wires, respectively. Each of the first and second pull wires can have a proximal end and a distal end. A first gap can exist between the proximal end of the first pull wire liner and the proximal end of the elongated body and a second gap can exist between the proximal end of the second pull wire liner and the proximal end of the elongated body.
