Embodiment Construction

[0035] In the figures, reference numeral 10 generally designates a catheter handle assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. Handle assembly 10 includes a tubular holder. The electrode sheath carrier 14 is mounted on the distal end of the holder 12 . A shape-imparting element carrier or knob 16 is provided at the proximal end 18 of the fixture 12 . Slider 20 ( Figure 2 to Figure 4 ) is accommodated in the interior 22 of the holder 12.

[0036] The anchor 12 tapers inwardly from its proximal end 18 to its distal end 24 . An engagement member 26 is provided on the anchor 12 near the distal end 24 of the anchor 12 to provide a grip for the clinician's hand when manipulating the handle assembly 10 . The tapered nature of anchor 12 and joint 26 provides a balanced handle assembly 10 that facilitates manipulation by the clinician.

[0037] Slider 20 includes a body member 28 that is confined within an enlarged tubular portion 30 . A guide mechanism formed ...

Abstract

A catheter handle assembly (10) includes a holder (12) having a proximal end and a distal end. An electrode sheath carrier (14) is arranged at the distal end of the holder (12). A shape imparting element carrier (16) is removably mountable to the proximal end of the holder (12), the shape imparting element carrier having at least one mounting formation for mounting at least a part of a shape imparting element. A slide (20) is displaceably arranged in the holder with a distal end of the slide (20) mounting the electrode sheath carrier (14) and a proximal end of the slide (20) terminating in proximity to the shape imparting element carrier (16).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 835,501, filed August 4, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to catheters, and more particularly to a combined catheter assembly, catheter handle assembly and parts for the combined catheter assembly. Background technique [0004] Catheters, such as those used in cardiovascular applications, consist of an elongated electrode-carrying element mounted at the distal end of a handle. The handle has at least one connector to enable a patient's cable to be connected to the proximal end of the handle to feed signals through the handle to the electrodes. Typically, these catheters include steering mechanisms or stylets disposed within the electrode-carrying element to enable steering of the distal end of the electrode-carrying element. [0005] This...
