Abstract: An electroporation device includes a shaft and a conformable electrode assembly. The shaft includes a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the conformable electrode assembly is located at the distal end of the shaft. The electrode assembly has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side includes a first non-conductive portion and a first electrode centrally located on the first side. The first non-conductive portion is defined by a first surface area and the first electrode is defined by a second surface area, wherein the first surface area is greater than the second surface area.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a unibody intravascular catheter shaft with benefits which may include a reduced diameter, and independently tunable torquability, flexibility, and pushability characteristics. While various embodiments of the present disclosure may be directed to an entire catheter shaft, various specific embodiments of the present disclosure may be directed to a unibody shaft design, which may be implemented in a portion of a catheter shaft. For example, the unibody shaft design may be advantageously implemented in a proximal shaft portion. Moreover, various embodiments of the present disclosure utilize a modular unibody design, which may be utilized for various catheter shaft applications using an outer polymer layer with variable thickness and durometer to achieve application-specific performance characteristics (e.g., catheter shaft flex).

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, for example, a high-thermal-sensitivity ablation catheter tip including a thermally-insulative ablation tip insert supporting a plurality of temperature sensors positioned within longitudinally-extending sensor channels and a radially-extending sensor channel within the tip insert. The sensor channels position the temperature sensors in thermal communication with a conductive shell that encapsulates, or essentially encapsulates, the ablation tip insert and the plurality of temperature sensors. Also disclosed is a method of controlling the temperature of an ablation catheter tip while creating a desired lesion using various ablative energies and energy delivery methodologies.
