  • Esophageal catheter with gauge
    Patent number: 5836895
    Abstract: A gauging esophageal catheter or stethoscope which is insertable into the esophagus or stomach of a subject or patient, has an elongated, flexible body portion having an instrument carried on a distal end. The catheter has a series of user visible gradations for permitting selective positioning of the instrument at a predetermined insertion depth within the subject. The gradations are calibrated to the height, weight or body surface area of the subject. The gradations may be printed on the body portion, or the body portion may have a transparent portion, and the gradations may be carried on a member internal thereto which is visible through the transparent portion.

  • Esophageal recording/pacing catheter with thermistor and cardiac imaging transceiver
    Patent number: 5343860
    Abstract: A single use disposable esophageal electrode structure is formed with a planar sheet body member. The body member carries a plurality of spaced-apart conductive electrode members. A temperature sensor can also be carried on the body member. A layer of adhesive on the body member can be used to affix it to an esophageal probe. A plurality of conducting members is coupled to the body member. Each of the conducting members is in turn coupled to a respective one of the electrodes. A free end of the conducting members carries an electrical connector for connection to other electrical units.
