A plurality of perforations are formed through the base between the internal surface and the external surface. A plurality of supports define a plurality of cavities. The plurality of supports extend outwardly from the external surface of the of the base. One or more of the plurality of cavities are in fluid communication with the one or more of the plurality of perforations. A backing surface is secured to the plurality of supports. The plurality of supports are disposed between the base and the backing surface. The one or more of the plurality of cavities are in fluid communication with an internal volume defined by the internal surface of the base through the one or more of the plurality of perforations. The base, the plurality of supports, and the backing surface can be integrally formed together as a monolithic, load-bearing structure.

Abstract: A basket-type EP catheter is described. The EP catheter comprises a catheter proximal end that is electrically connected to a controller by an electrical cable having a single voltage-out (Vout) conductor and a catheter distal end supporting a distal connector that is detachably connectable to a basket-shaped configuration of a plurality of splines. Each spline supports an array of electrodes. By sampling the voltage signal on each of the plurality of electrodes sequentially or consecutively, only one Vout conductor is needed to transmit the voltage sample to the controller. In comparison to conventional EP catheters, this greatly reduces the number of conductors extending along the catheter shaft. The use of a Vout conductor is implemented by connecting a polling circuit or a “one-shot” circuit and a signal pass-transistor or transmission gate to each electrode.
