Summary: | A multi-electrode catheter is presented herein having a puller wire with a distal end bonded to a coupler tube between a catheter shaft body and end effector. Because the puller wire is bonded to the coupler tube, a distal portion of the catheter body shaft, at least up to a proximal end of the coupler tube, can be deflected when the puller wire is retracted. The coupler tube may also be flexible and be deflectable when the puller wire is retracted. The coupler tube may bend with a radius of curvature that is greater than, equal to, or less than a radius of curvature of the distal portion of the catheter body shaft, depending on design considerations of the catheter. The coupler tube may be made from a flexible material and/or may include sidewall slits which facilitate bending of the coupler tube. |
