  • Deflectable catheter shaft section
    Patent number: 11844910
    Abstract: A deflectable catheter shaft section is disclosed comprising an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis with a distal end and a proximal end. First and second pull wires can extend along the elongated body and can have a proximal end and a distal end. First and second pull wire liners can be disposed over a portion of one of the first and second pull wires, respectively. Each of the first and second pull wires can have a proximal end and a distal end. A first gap can exist between the proximal end of the first pull wire liner and the proximal end of the elongated body and a second gap can exist between the proximal end of the second pull wire liner and the proximal end of the elongated body.

  • FLUID GEL FOR FIBER OPTIC GAP
    Publication number: 20210228272
    Abstract: An ablation catheter including a tip coupled to a distal end of a shaft. The tip can include a displacement feature between a proximal portion and a distal portion of the tip. The distal portion can be configured to move with respect to the proximal portion based on the displacement feature. A first optical fiber can be coupled to the proximal portion. A second optical fiber coupled to the distal portion and optically aligned with the first optical fiber. The second optical fiber can be positioned at a distance from the first optical fiber and can be configured to move with respect to the first optical fiber according to a displacement of the distal portion of the tip. A fluid can be located between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber.
