  • Patent number: 11272981
    Abstract: In an electrode assembly for a catheter system, a plurality of struts extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the electrode assembly. Each strut has a longitudinally extending proximal leg, a longitudinally extending distal leg, and a center segment extending between and interconnecting the proximal leg and the distal leg. A hinge interconnects the proximal leg and the center segment, and another hinge interconnects the distal leg and the center segment. The center segment of each of the struts has a corresponding electrode thereon. The electrode assembly is configurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, with the electrodes being transversely spaced from the longitudinal axis of the electrode assembly a greater distance in the expanded configuration than in the collapsed configuration.

  • Patent number: 10850064
    Abstract: An introducer sheath (300) includes a body (305) extending between a leading end (304) and a trailing end (302) and including a plurality of rectangular segments (310) extending from the leading end to the trailing end. The segments are joined to one another along longitudinal edges to form a tubular structure with a lumen (308) therethrough, the segments being joined at vertices (314). The body has a collapsed condition with a first cross-section and is configured to transition from the collapsed condition to an expanded condition with a second cross-section when an apparatus is passed through the lumen, the second cross-section having a maximum dimension larger than a maximum dimension of the first cross-section.

  • Patent number: 10034705
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to electrode assemblies, and specifically to struts comprising electrode assemblies and electrodes contained on the struts. The electrode assembly struts are constructed to have a low profile and to have superior strength over the length of the strut such that an electrode assembly including the strut is highly resistant to radial compression. The electrodes included on the low profile, high strength strut also is designed to have a reduced profile such that electrode assemblies including the strut and electrode can easily be used with 6 French and smaller guide catheter assemblies.

  • Patent number: 9889292
    Abstract: A system includes an introducer sheath having a sheath wall and a longitudinal axis, an electrode lead including a lead body and at least one electrode at a distal end of the lead body. The distal end of the lead body is received within the sheath. At least one anchor wire is within the sheath and has a proximal end attached to the distal end of the lead body. The a least one anchor wire moves through at least one opening in the sheath wall responsive to movement of the lead body relative to the introducer sheath.
