AI Technical Summary
Existing cardiac mapping catheters lack the ability to provide high-density signal mapping with sufficient data collection in a short time span and adaptability to various heart tissue surfaces, such as flat, curved, or irregular surfaces, while maintaining atraumatic advancement through the vasculature.
A catheter design featuring a tubular member with a distal end effector comprising loop members and spines, supported by shape memory material, allowing for high-density electrode arrays that can maintain a flat configuration on tissue surfaces and provide precise signal mapping through magnetic and impedance sensing.
Enables high-resolution electrical signal mapping and ablation by maintaining a stable electrode matrix on diverse heart tissue surfaces, enhancing data collection efficiency and adaptability, thereby improving arrhythmia treatment procedures.
