Catheter with temperature sensor system and method for producing the same

Abstract

A catheter with a temperature sensor system having a catheter body including a hollow cylindrical inner liner having an inner liner outer surface, the inner liner extending in a longitudinal direction from a proximal catheter body end to a distal catheter body end of the catheter body, an outer insulation having an inner insulation surface, the outer insulation coaxially surrounding the inner liner, and a flexible circuit board comprising a plurality of electrical conductors, where the flexible circuit board is arranged between the inner liner outer surface and the inner insulation surface, and at least one electrode at the distal catheter body end, where the electrode is electrically conductively connected to at least one of the electrical conductors, wherein the flexible circuit board comprises at least one temperature sensor, where the temperature sensor is electrically conductively connected to at least one of the electrical conductors.
