    Abstract: An open-irrigated ablation catheter system includes a catheter body, and an electrode tip body mounted on a distal portion of the catheter body. The electrode tip body includes a proximal end configured for connection to the catheter body and a wall defining an open interior region and including one or more irrigation ports. The wall is conductive for delivering radio frequency (RF) energy. The catheter system further includes a proximal insert positioned partially within the catheter body and at least partially within the proximal end of the electrode tip body. The proximal insert includes a fluid inlet for receiving a cooling fluid delivered via the catheter body. The proximal insert forms a flow path configured to direct the cooling fluid from the fluid inlet to cool the distal portion of the catheter body and to cool a junction of the catheter body and the electrode tip body.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to distributed interactive medical visualization systems including user interface features and related methods. In an embodiment, a distributed interactive medical visualization system is included having a first video processing circuit, a first central processing circuit in communication with the first video processing circuit, a first communications circuit in communication with the first central processing circuit, and a first user interface generated by the first video processing circuit. The first user interface can include a three-dimensional model of at least a portion of a subject's anatomy from a first perspective, the first perspective configured to be controlled by a first user. The first user interface can further include one or more user representations representing one or more other users, the user representations superimposed within the three-dimensional model, wherein each of the one or more user representations are visually distinct from one another. Other embodiments are also included herein.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to distributed interactive medical visualization systems with primary/secondary interaction features and related methods. In an embodiment, a distributed interactive medical visualization system is included. The system can include a first video processing circuit and a first central processing circuit in communication with the first video processing circuit. The system can also include a first communications circuit. The system can also include a primary user interface generated by the first video processing circuit. The primary user interface can include a three-dimensional model of at least a portion of a subject's anatomy from a first perspective, the first perspective configured to be controlled by a primary user. The primary user interface can include a command interface object, wherein engagement can cause a secondary user interface to begin mirroring the perspective of the primary user on the three-dimensional model of the subject's anatomy. Other embodiments are also included herein.
