Abstract:
A medical device including a catheter having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A plurality of electrodes is disposed along the distal portion, the plurality of electrodes including a first electrode pair having a first fixed polarity and a second electrode pair having a second fixed polarity different than the first fixed polarity. A first lumen extends through the distal portion, the first lumen includes a first conductor configured to connect to a first electrode of the first electrode pair and a second conductor configured to connect to a second electrode of the first electrode pair. A second lumen extends through the distal portion and separated from the first lumen, the second lumen includes a third conductor configured to connect to a first electrode of the second electrode pair and a fourth conductor configured to connect to a second electrode of the second electrode pair.
