Abstract: Elongate medical devices with an expandable structure including elongated splines and a distal hub.

Abstract: An elongate medical device comprising an expandable structure with an expandable configuration and a collapsed configuration, a handle, operably coupled to the expandable structure, the handle further including a selective movement limiter; and a deflection control member coupled with the distal hub, where the deflection control member is configured to adjust a stiffness of the expandable structure, from a first stiffness to a second stiffness, and maintain the first stiffness or the second stiffness when the selective movement limiter couples with the deflection control member and limits a longitudinal movement of the deflection control member, and wherein the deflection control member is configured to move freely when the selective movement limiter is not coupled with the deflection control member.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to delivery devices for transcatheter stented prosthesis loading, delivery and implantation. The delivery devices provide a loaded delivery state in which the stented prosthesis is loaded and compressed over the delivery device. The compression of the stented prosthesis can be adjusted with one or more elongate tension members, which extend around the stented prosthesis and proximately to an actuation and release assembly that can be provided as part of a handle assembly. The delivery device can be manipulated to adjust tension in the tension members to permit the stented prosthesis to compress, self-expand, and ultimately release from the shaft assembly. In some embodiments, the tension in one or more tension members is adjusted with one or more actuation and release assemblies.

Abstract: A catheter for electrophysiological measurement can include a catheter shaft including a proximal end and a distal end. An electrical conductor can be attached to the catheter. In some examples, a catheter tip portion can be located at the distal end of the catheter shaft. The catheter tip portion can include an electrical conductor and an electrode. In some examples, the electrical conductor can be a trace along a flexible circuit. The electrical conductor can be configured to be communicatively coupled to an ECU, and the electrode can be disposed on the electrical conductor. In various examples, a contact surface area of the electrode can include an impedance reduction layer.

Abstract: Described herein is an electrode assembly for a catheter system, and methods of using and forming the same. The electrode assembly includes an inner electrode basket having a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first plurality of struts. The electrode assembly also includes an outer electrode basket having a second proximal end, a second distal end, and a second plurality of struts. The first proximal end is positioned within and coaxial with the second proximal end, and the first distal end is positioned within and coaxial with the second distal end such that the inner electrode basket is positioned within and coaxial with the outer electrode basket. The inner electrode basket is angularly offset from the outer electrode basket such that the first plurality of struts and the second plurality of struts alternate about a circumference of the electrode assembly.

Abstract: High-density mapping catheters with an array of mapping electrodes are disclosed. These catheters can be used for diagnosing and treating cardiac arrhythmias, for example. The catheters are adapted to contact tissue and comprise a flexible framework including the electrode array. The array of electrodes may be formed from a plurality of columns of longitudinally-aligned and rows of laterally-aligned electrodes.

Abstract: A medical device includes an elongate shaft extending along a shaft longitudinal axis and includes a shaft proximal portion and a shaft distal portion. The medical device can include an electrode disposed on the shaft distal portion. The medical device can include a first conductor lead and a second conductor lead, each of the conductor leads electrically being coupled to the electrode. A thermocouple junction formed via a thermocouple conductor can be electrically coupled to the electrode and the first conductor lead.
