Abstract: The present disclosure provides ablation catheter systems and electrode assemblies or baskets for use in the ablation catheter systems that include struts that are manufactured from a thermoplastic material. In many embodiments, the struts manufactured from a single piece of thermoplastic material. The struts are generally configured to operate in a double diamond formation, although an electrode basket including the struts described herein may include two, three, four or more diamonds, which may be of the same or different sizes. By manufacturing the struts from a thermoplastic material the diamond-shaped struts as described in the present disclosure may be manufactured with sufficient strength without the need for a nitinol frame or adhesives, thus reducing the overall cost of the strut, as well as overall manufacturing time.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides ablation catheter systems and electrode assemblies and electrode baskets for use in the ablation catheter systems that include an interlinked diamond configuration formed from a plurality of strut assemblies. Each strut assembly includes one or more struts that are manufactured from a thermoplastic or metallic material. The interlinked diamond configuration facilitates reducing an overall length of the electrode assembly. Further, the interlinked diamond configuration facilitates expanding and contracting the struts simultaneously and by the same amount.
