Abstract
A catheter handle assembly (10) includes a holder (12) having a proximal end and a distal end. An electrode sheath carrier (14) is arranged at the distal end of the holder (12) A shape imparting element carrier (16) is removably mountable to the proximal end of the holder (12), the shape imparting element carrier having at least one mounting formation for mounting at least a part of a shape imparting element. A slide (20) is displaceably arranged in the holder with a distal end of the slide (20) mounting the electrode sheath carrier (14) and a proximal end of the slide (20) terminating in proximity to the shape imparting element carrier (16).
Claims17
A catheter handle assembly which includes
- a holder having a proximal end and a distal end;
- an electrode sheath carrier arranged at the distal end of the holder;
- a shape imparting element carrier removably mountable to the proximal end of the holder, the shape imparting element carrier having at least one mounting formation for mounting at least a part of a shape imparting element;
- and
- a slide displaceably arranged in the holder with a distal end of the slide mounting the electrode sheath carrier and a proximal end of the slide terminating in proximity to the shape imparting element carrier.
An electrical lead which includes
- a lumen defining member, the lumen defining member having a discontinuity along its length to create a proximal part and a distal part;
- a plurality of conductors carried on an outer surface of the lumen defining member, the conductors being separated from the lumen defining member at the discontinuity to enable access to be gained to a part of the lumen defined by the distal part, the plurality of conductors electrically bridging the discontinuity;
- and
- at least one electrode carried on the distal part of the lumen defining member.
