Abstract
A medical device comprising a tube, a first electrode and a second electrode, and a structure at a distal portion of the tube, the structure defining a first section and a second section, wherein the first and second sections are configured to be filled with a conductive medium, wherein the first electrode is contained within the first section, and the second electrode is contained within the second section, and wherein the structure includes a central barrier separating the first section from the second section, and the central barrier is insulative.
Claims10
A medical device, comprising:
- a tube;
- a first electrode and a second electrode;
- and
- a structure at a distal portion of the tube, wherein the structure defines a first section radially surrounded by a first wall of the structure and a second section radially surrounded by a second wall of the structure, and wherein the structure includes:
- an insulative central barrier separating the first section from the second section,
- an insulative proximal barrier, and
- an insulative distal barrier,
- wherein a space between the central barrier and the distal barrier defines the first section, and a space between the central barrier and the proximal barrier defines the second section,
- wherein the proximal barrier, the central barrier, and the distal barrier are each balloons configured to be inflated;
- wherein the first and second sections are configured to be filled with a conductive medium, and
- wherein the first electrode is contained within the first section, and the second electrode is contained within the second section.
A medical device, comprising:
- a tube;
- a first electrode;
- and
- an inflatable structure at a distal portion of the tube, the structure including:
- a proximal non-porous barrier,
- a central non-porous barrier,
- a distal non-porous barrier,
- a proximal porous wall connected to the proximal non-porous barrier and the central non-porous barrier, and
- a distal porous wall connected to the central non-porous barrier and the distal non-porous barrier;
- wherein the proximal porous wall radially surrounds a first cavity configured to be filled with a conductive medium, and
- wherein the first electrode is positioned within the first cavity.
