Abstract
An electro-physiology mapping catheter is disclosed which includes an elongated body having opposed proximal and distal end portions and defining a longitudinal axis therebetween, the distal end portion of the body forming a generally circular mapping loop that extends through a plane oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body, the circular mapping loop having an inwardly bent distal tip section.
Claims2
An electro-physiology mapping catheter for insertion within a heart comprising:
- a) an elongated body having opposed proximal and distal end portions and defining a longitudinal axis therebetween;
- b) a generally circular mapping loop operatively associated with the distal end portion of the body, the mapping loop extending through a plane oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body, and having a distal tip section bent radially inward toward a center of the circular mapping loop, wherein the distal tip section includes an atraumatic tip positioned in a central area of the circular mapping loop within the plane of the mapping loop, wherein the mapping loop includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart electrode bands, and wherein the distal tip section extends along a radius of the mapping loop.
