[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrophysiological catheter technology, and more specifically, to an electrophysiological electrode catheter structure. Background Technology
[0002] Electrophysiological electrode catheters are important tools for clinical cardiac electrophysiological examinations. They consist of a proximal connector, a catheter, and an electrode ring at the front end. The inner layer is made of radiopaque polyamide, the middle layer is a mesh of copper wire, the outer layer is polyurethane, and the ring electrode is made of platinum-iridium alloy.

Therefore, the existence of an electrophysiological electrode catheter structure is crucial to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, two ablation heads are fixedly disposed on the outer side of the catheter body between the three sets of electrode plates, and ablation conductive plates are fixedly disposed on the top of the two sets of ablation heads on the outer side of the outer shell. Insulating layers are respectively disposed between the electrode conductive plates and the ablation conductive plates, as well as between the electrode plates and the ablation heads on the outer side of both the outer shell and the outer side of the catheter body.
[0007] Furthermore, four slots are provided on the outer side of the catheter body between the three sets of electrode plates and the two sets of ablation heads, and four blocks are fixedly provided on the inner side of the outer shell between the electrode conductive plates and the ablation conductive plates.
