ABSTRACT:
An electrophysiological mapping device includes an outer catheter, an inner catheter slidable within the outer catheter, and an electronic activation and recording device for electrically activating electrodes on the inner catheter and/or recording electric signals received by the electrodes. The distal end of the inner catheter comprises a plurality of arms that carry electrodes. The arms bow outwardly upon extension of the inner catheter from the outer catheter to form a three-dimensional shape. Each arm has a spine of a superelastic material. Each spine is semicircular in section, and is disposed within a portion of a flexible sheath, the electrode lead wires being disposed in the rest of the sheath. The electrodes are formed from the ends of the insulated electrode lead wires which pass through the sheath, are wrapped around the sheath and then stripped of their insulation. The proximal and distal ends of the spines are fixed to proximal and distal fittings, each having a polygonal segment having flat sides which engage the flat surfaces of the spines and a clamping ring to secure the spines to the segments.
