    摘要: The disclosed technology includes an expandable basket assembly for a medical probe, which may include a single unitary structure comprising a plurality of spines converging at a central spine intersection, the central spine intersection being positioned on a longitudinal axis of the expandable basket assembly at a distal end thereof. The plurality of spines may include a first layer and a second layer attached to the first layer and including a central cutout about the central spine intersection that exposes the first layer at the central spine intersection. The plurality of spine may include a central electrode attached to the first layer at the central spine intersection via a central aperture in the first layer at the central spine intersection. The second layer may be configured to articulate independently of the first layer at the central spine intersection.

    摘要: The disclosed technology includes a medical probe comprising a tubular shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular shaft extending along a longitudinal axis. The medical probe further comprises an expandable basket assembly coupled to the distal end of the tubular shaft. The basket assembly includes a plurality of electrodes with each electrode of the plurality of electrodes having a lumen therethrough. The basket assembly further includes a plurality of spines extending along the longitudinal axis and configured to bow radially outward from the longitudinal axis when the expandable basket assembly is transitioned from a collapsed form to an expanded form. Each spine includes a proximal and a distal end and a strut passing through the lumen of an electrode. The strut includes a mechanical retainer disposed on the strut to prevent the electrode from sliding proximally or distally along a length of the spine.

    摘要: The disclosed technology includes a medical probe comprising a tubular shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and including a proximal end and a distal end. The medical probe further comprises an expandable basket assembly proximate the distal end of the tubular shaft. The basket assembly comprises a first unitary tripodic structure and a second unitary tripodic structure, each tripodic structure formed from a respective planar sheet of material that includes three linear spines converging at a respective central spine intersection and one or more electrodes coupled to each of the spines, each electrode defining a lumen through the electrode so that the spine extends through the lumen of each of the one or more electrodes. Each tripodic structure formed from a respective planar sheet of material that includes three linear spines converging at a respective central spine intersection.

    摘要: Wiring is disclosed herein that is configured to supply IRE ablation signals through a catheter body and is resistant against dielectric breakdown, arcing, and noise during ablation. The wiring includes a highly conductive core, a conductive cover surrounding the core that has lower electrical and/or thermal conductivity than the core, and an insulative jacket surrounding the conductive cover. A catheter including such wiring may be suitable for supplying electrical signals to tissue to perform IRE ablation. In some examples, such a catheter can also be suitable for reversible electroporation and/or RF ablation.

    摘要: The disclosed technology includes a medical probe comprising a tubular shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and including a proximal end and a distal end. The medical probe further comprises an expandable basket assembly proximate the distal end of the tubular shaft. The basket assembly comprises a single unitary structure that includes a plurality of linear spines formed from a planar sheet of material and one or more electrodes coupled to each of the spines, each electrode defining a lumen through the electrode so that a spine extends through the lumen of each of the one or more electrodes. The spines converge at a central spine intersection at a distal end of the basket assembly. The central spine intersection includes one or more cutouts that allows for bending of the spines. Each spine comprises a respective end connected to the distal end of the tubular shaft.
