ABSTRACT:
An electrode assembly for a catheter having first and second conductors comprises an anode ring including an outer portion and an inner portion connected to the outer portion. The inner portion includes a solid member having a blind passage therein and a channel therethrough. One end of the first conductor is received in the blind passage and retained therein by a pair of crimps impressed into the solid member against the conductor end. The second conductor extends through the anode ring in the channel. Alternatively, the inner portion includes a post which is received in a passage in the end of the first conductor and is welded to the first conductor. The second conductor includes a lead portion and a tip portion spaced therefrom and the anode ring includes a feed-through tube extending therethrough and interconnecting the lead and tip portions of the second conductor.
The outer anode ring portion includes a tubular part having a wall with an outer surface and an inner surface, and including an aperture extending through the wall from its outer surface to its inner surface. Some portions of such inner surfaces, or such inner and outer surfaces, are roughened.
The outer anode ring portion at one end includes a ring tip having a passage therethrough, such passage through such ring tip being coaxial with the anode ring and carrying such second conductor therewithin.
