Abstract: An electrical lead for a catheter includes an elongate member of non-conductive material having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The elongate member further includes a tubular member of non-conductive material, a braid of conductive material applied over the tubular member, an intermediate layer of non-conductive material applied over the braid, a plurality of electrical conductors extending from the proximal end to the distal end laid on the intermediate layer, and an outer layer of non-conductive material applied over the electrical conductors to cover the conductors. At least one electrode is arranged on the outer surface of the elongate member in electrical communication with at least one of the plurality of electrical conductors through the outer layer. The braid underlies the at least one electrode but is insulated from the at least one electrode by the intermediate non-conductive layer.

Abstract: The inventions disclosed herein relate to systems for securing medical devices to a blood vessel of a patient, including securing a vessel deforming component to a blood vessel. Certain embodiments relate to wraps configured to be secured around a blood vessel, including wraps configured to hold a vessel deformer adjacent a blood vessel, and further including, for example, a pulsatile balloon adjacent the aorta.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Hydrogel cover for a temperature sensor. The sensor can be used on infants in a radiant warmer and/or incubator. In a first embodiment the sensor is fully enclosed by the Hydrogel. In a second embodiment the sensor may be removed through a releasable cover. This results in improved thermal response and/or accuracy.
