  • Publication number: 20250089996
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an elevator of a medical device comprises using an additive manufacturing method, forming a pivot portion at a proximal end of the elevator. The pivot portion tapers proximally such that a proximalmost end of the elevator is thinner than more distal portions of the pivot portion. The method further comprises using the additive manufacturing method, forming a body of the elevator that is distal to the pivot portion. The elevator body includes a surface configured to contact an instrument inserted in a working channel of the medical device.

  • Patent number: 8414579
    Abstract: An embodiment of an open-irrigated catheter system comprises a tip section, a distal insert, and mapping electrodes. The tip section has an exterior wall that defines an open interior region within the tip section. The exterior wall includes mapping electrode openings and irrigation ports. The exterior wall is conductive for delivering radio frequency (RF) energy for an RF ablation procedure. The irrigation ports are in fluid communication with the open interior region to allow fluid to flow from the open interior region through the irrigation ports. The distal insert is positioned within the tip section to separate the open region into a distal fluid reservoir and a proximal fluid reservoir. The mapping electrodes are positioned in the mapping electrode openings in the tip section.

  • Publication number: 20110009857
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of a method for cooling an open-irrigated ablation electrode, pressurized fluid is delivered from a fluid lumen of a catheter body into an ablation electrode. Fluid flow in the fluid lumen is generally laminar. The generally laminar fluid flow is transformed from the fluid lumen into a turbulent fluid flow within the ablation electrode. The pressurized fluid with turbulent fluid flow is delivered through irrigation ports of the ablation electrode.
