20110257649 | Electrode For An Electrophysiological Ablation Catheter - An electrode for an electrophysiological ablation catheter including an electrode body extending along a longitudinal axis, the electrode body including an electrode outer surface for emitting high-frequency signals and/or for measuring physiological signals, a first attachment point on a first end, at which the electrode is attached to a first catheter shaft, an irrigation lumen extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and through which cooling agent may be directed out of the first catheter shaft and into the electrode, and which forms an opening at the first end of the electrode body, the opening connected to a lumen of the first catheter shaft, and at least one cooling-agent passage connected to the irrigation lumen, the cooling-agent passage situated at an angle to the longitudinal axis and forming first and second openings in the electrode outer surface, through which the cooling agent may be released into the surroundings, as cooling-agent flow. | 10-20-2011 |
20110263966 | Dissipation Device and MRI-Safe Catheter System - A dissipation device having a proximal end, which is located outside the body, and a distal end, which is suited in particular for elongate medical instruments, in particular electrophysiological catheters or temporary electrode leads, placed temporarily in the body. The dissipation device including a dissipation sleeve which extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the dissipation device, and a lumen which extends from the proximal end to the distal end, and in which the instrument can be displaceably guided, wherein the lumen is enclosed by the dissipation sleeve. The dissipation device is characterized in that the dissipation sleeve is composed, at least partially, of electrically conductive material, and/or the dissipation sleeve includes dissipation means composed of electrically conductive material and, therefore, the dissipation sleeve is designed to dissipate or divert electrical energy induced by electromagnetic radiation. | 10-27-2011 |

20130046298 | STEERABLE CATHETERS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THEM - Apparatus are provided for performing a procedure within a patient's body that include a tubular member including proximal and distal ends, a central axis or region extending therebetween, and a distal portion extending distally from an intermediate portion to the distal end. One or more accessory lumens and a steering element lumen extend between the proximal and distal ends, the steering element lumen offset from the central region within the distal portion such that a steering plane intersects the steering element lumen and the central axis. The distal portion includes a core member extending between the intermediate portion and the distal end, and stabilization elements embedded in the core member adjacent the accessory lumen and defining a stabilization plane that intersects the steering plane at a location offset from the central region, e.g., closer to the accessory lumen than the steering element lumen. | 02-21-2013 |
20130116704 | Device for Explanting Electrode Leads - An explantation device for explanting implanted leads, having a distal end pointing in the direction of the explantation site and a proximal end pointing in the direction of the surgeon. The explantation tool comprising a locking sheath comprising a hose-like or tubular body having a lumen along a longitudinal axis and at least one clamping device at or in the vicinity of the distal end; and a cutting sheath for removing adhering tissue, having a proximal and a distal end and comprising a hose-like or tubular body having a lumen along a longitudinal axis and a detaching unit at or in the vicinity of the distal end; wherein the cutting sheath comprises at least one receptacle for the clamping device of the locking sheath. | 05-09-2013 |
20130190688 | CATHETER AND CATHETER ARRANGEMENT - A catheter with an elongated catheter body which, with regard to a position of use, has a distal and a proximal end, wherein at the distal end, a sponge- or cushion-like elastic deformation body is arranged which has, in particular, electrically, mechanically or optically acting measuring means or a measuring connection for detecting a pressing force exerted on the deformation body. | 07-25-2013 |
20130190730 | CATHETER AND CATHETER SYSTEM - A catheter comprising an elongated catheter body which has a distal end and a proximal end in respect of an operating position, wherein the catheter body comprises an inner tube and an outer tube which is displaceable relative thereto, and a deformation body is disposed on the distal end which is connected in the distal region thereof to the distal end of the inner tube, and in the proximal region thereof to the distal end of the outer tube. | 07-25-2013 |
20140378803 | Catheter And Method For Producing Same - A catheter with a film composite structure. The catheter at least includes a polymer film that is shaped such that a first polymer film layer, which is arranged inwardly relative to the catheter, and a second polymer film layer, which is arranged outwardly relative to the catheter, are produced; one or more electrodes arranged at least partially on an outer surface of the film composite structure; and a conductor structure, which includes conductive tracks for the electrical connection of the electrodes and which is arranged at least in part between the first and second polymer film layers. An associated production method for the catheter is also contemplated herein. | 12-25-2014 |
