  • Electrophysiology RF energy treatment device
    Patent number: 6168594
    Abstract: An electrophysiology energy treatment system for treating tissues within a patient's body with RF energy comprises an elongate catheter tube having a distal end, with a porous member thereon, insertable into the patient's body. An RF electrode is within the catheter tube adjacent the distal end and locatable within the patient's body, and an electrolyte fluid flows within the catheter tube for electrically connecting the electrode to the tissues to be treated within the patient's body.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 1999
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2001
    Assignee: Scimed Life Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel M. LaFontaine, Jenifer Kennedy
