SINGLE SENSOR FOR PHYSIOLOGIC SIGNAL MEASUREMENT WITH POSITION AND TISSUE PROXIMITY INDICATION

A sensor for a medical probe having one or more coils with at least two exposed winding portions. The one or more coils can be configured to output 1) electrocardiogram (ECG) signals received at the at least two exposed windings, and 2) signals indicative of environmental impedance/conductance in th...

More Information
Summary:A sensor for a medical probe having one or more coils with at least two exposed winding portions. The one or more coils can be configured to output 1) electrocardiogram (ECG) signals received at the at least two exposed windings, and 2) signals indicative of environmental impedance/conductance in the vicinity of the at least two exposed windings. The one or more coils can further be configured to determine a position of the sensor based on magnetic field, determine a curvature of the sensor, directionally measure environmental impedance/conductance, and/or measure temperature. Insulated portions of the one or more coils can be interleaved with the at least two exposed winding portions. The sensor can be integral to a catheter or guide wire.
