ABSTRACT:
An electrophysiology catheter which includes: a catheter tube having a band of electrically conductive material extending around substantially the entire circumference of the catheter tube, the conductive material being non-adhesive; a flexible electrical conductor within the catheter tube, the electrical conductor having a free end extending through an opening in the catheter tube, the free end lying along and being in contact with a portion of the band of non-adhesive and being in electrical contact with the band of non-adhesive electrically conductive material; and an electrically conductive electrode positioned over and in electrical contact with the band of non-adhesive electrically conductive material and the free end of the conductive wire, the electrode being substantially cylindrical and having a distal end and a proximal end.
