    Abstract: A method and system for presenting information representative of lesion formation is provided. The system comprises an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU is configured to acquire a value for an ablation description parameter and/or a position signal metric, wherein the value corresponds to a location in the tissue. The ECU is further configured to evaluate the value, assign it a visual indicator of a visualization scheme associated with the parameter/metric corresponding to the value, and generate a marker comprising the visual indicator such that the marker is indicative of the acquired value. The method comprises acquiring a value for the parameter/metric, and evaluating the value. The method further includes assigning a visual indicator of a visualization scheme associated with the parameter/metric corresponding to the value, and generating a marker comprising the visual indicator.

    Abstract: The instant invention relates generally to introducer catheters used to help deliver catheters or other medical devices to locations within the human body. In particular, the instant invention relates to large diameter introducer catheters (introducer catheters with lumens greater than about 6 French) having increased strength, flexibility, and kink resistance. Introducer catheters according to the teachings herein may also include curved distal ends and flared (that is, funnel-like) transition sections within their lumens.

    Abstract: An input device for a robotic medical system includes a handle configured to be rotatable about a center axis, and to be longitudinally displaceable along the center axis. The input device also includes a deflection control element disposed on the handle and configured to selectively control deflection of the distal end of a flexible medical instrument electrically coupled to the input device. Longitudinal displacement of the handle may cause or result in a corresponding longitudinal motion or deflection of the flexible medical instrument. Rotation of the handle may cause or result in a corresponding rotation of the deflection plane. Longitudinal displacement and rotation of the handle may be detected or sensed electronically.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for determining electrophysiological data. The system comprises an electronic control unit that is configured to receive electrical signals from a set of electrodes, receive position and orientation data for the set of electrodes from a mapping system, compensate for position and orientation artifacts of the set of electrodes, compose cliques of a subset of neighboring electrodes in the set of electrodes, determine catheter orientation independent information of a target tissue, and output the orientation independent information to a display. The method comprising receiving electrogram data for a set of electrodes (80), compensating for artifacts in sensor positions in the mapping system (81), resolving the bipolar signals into a 3D vector electrogram in the mapping system coordinates (82), manipulating observed unipolar voltage signals and the tangent component of the e-field to estimate the conduction velocity vector (83), and outputting the catheter orientation independent information (84).

    Abstract: A body (2) for a catheter or sheath is disclosed. The body (2) includes strips (8, 10) formed longitudinally from the proximal (6) portion of the body (2) to the distal (4) portion of the body (2). The strips are formed of different materials. The strips can have different radiopacities, or can be splittable/peelable. The splittable/peelable body comprises a peel mechanism longitudinally extending along its respective length. The peel mechanism can be formed by longitudinally extending regions of interfacial bonding between first and second longitudinally extending strips of polymer material. A region of stress concentration extends along the region of interfacial bonding. The stress concentration facilitates the splitting of the body (2) along its peel mechanism. The polymer material of the first strip (8) can have a greater amount of radiopaque filler than the polymer material of the second strip (10). Each strip forms at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the body (2).
