Patent number: 11233369Abstract: A positioning cartridge is disclosed for use during manufacture of an electrode. The positioning cartridge may have a plurality of positioning inserts, each with proximal and distal ends, and a scaffold secured to the proximal ends of each positioning insert. The scaffold may be configured to place the positioning inserts in a defined orientation with respect to each other that corresponds to a plurality of longitudinal bores of the electrode. An electrode may be manufactured using the positioning cartridge. The positioning cartridge may have a plurality of components, such that at least one component is associated with each positioning insert. The plurality of components may be temperature sensors. The positioning cartridge may be configured to position each temperature sensor at a location adjacent an outer surface of the electrode.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Biosense Webster (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Rogelio Plascencia, Patrick Kiernan, Steven Campbell, Federico Valdovinos

Publication number: 20190183570Abstract: An electrophysiologic catheter with an improved control handle is provided. The catheter includes a heat transfer assembly to better dissipate heat in the control handle. The heat transfer assembly includes a pump, a reservoir containing a coolant, a heat transfer member, and a coolant transport network transporting coolant between at least the reservoir and the heat transfer member. In one embodiment, the heat transfer member is located within the control handle as a heat exchanger on the circuit board to receive the coolant for transferring heat from the integrated circuits to the coolant. In another embodiment, the heat transfer member is located on the circuit board directly surrounding the integrated circuits to internally cool the integrated circuit within the control handle. A second heat transfer member is located outside of the control handle as a heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2019Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Eduardo Jimenez, Jeffrey W. Schultz, Rogelio Plascencia, JR., Mario Solis, Arnold Tuason, Christopher Beeckler, Ariel Garcia, Assaf Govari, Yaron Ephrath, Dean Ponzi

Patent number: 8958861Abstract: A catheter for the treatment of tissue, particularly for the treatment of cardiac tissue to alleviate cardiac arrhythmias includes a handle housing a combination of steering components, electronic circuitry and/or infusion tubing. An interior notch in the handle around a circumference of the handle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle provides a means for access to the sealed handle in case a repair to the interior components is necessary during manufacture or reprocessing. The circumferential frangible connection of the two halves of the handle provides access without the use of cutting or drilling devices that could damage the interior components.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Inventors: Rogelio Plascencia, Jr., Arnold Tuason, Mario A.
