    摘要: An ultrasound device comprises an ultrasound head at a distal end of the shaft. Electrical circuitry for driving the ultrasound head includes circuit components mounted on a flexible carrier so that they do not require a fully rigid part of the device. The transducer aperture can then be made as large as possible for a given size of rigid substrate. A reduced rigid substrate length improves maneuverability of the device. The flexible component carrier is bendable in all planes parallel to the length direction so that it forms an end section of the shaft, and which can follow any desired path.

    摘要: The present invention relates to electric components of interventional devices. In order to provide further miniaturization of medical interventional devices, an electric component (10) of an interventional device is provided. The component comprises a flat carrier base (12), at least one electric circuit (14) provided on a substrate (16) and at least one electric wire (18) connected to the electric circuit by a wire connection (20). The substrate is attached to the carrier base. Further, for the wire connection, the carrier base is provided with at least one opening (22) that is provided at least partly with a conductive edge portion (24), which edge portion is connected to the at least one electric circuit. Still further, the substrate is provided with at least one recess (26) aligned with the location of the at least one opening in the carrier base. Furthermore, an end portion of the wire is arranged in the at least one recess; and the end portion of the wire is conductively coupled to the conductive edge portion by electrically conductive material (30).

    摘要: An interventional device includes a sensor interconnection region (101) for making electrical contact to a sensor (102) disposed on the interventional device. The interventional device includes an electrically conductive elongate shaft, a sensor strip (104), electrical conductors (105, 106), and an electrical shield layer (109). The electrical conductors (105, 106) extend along the sensor strip between a sensor region (111) and a window (112) within which the electrical conductors (105, 106) are exposed. The sensor strip (104) is wrapped around the elongate shaft (103) in a spiral such that the electrical conductors (105, 106) extend along the longitudinal axis (A-A′) within the window (112), and such that an electrical shield contact portion (109′) adjacent the window (112), the window (112), and an exposed portion of the electrically conductive elongate shaft (103′) beyond the wrapped sensor strip provide the sensor interconnection region (101).
