More Information
Summary:The disclosed technology includes an expandable basket assembly of a medical probe that includes (i) a plurality of spines connected to the distal end of the hub and extending along the longitudinal axis and configured to bow radially outward from the longitudinal axis when the expandable basket assembly is transitioned from a collapsed form to an expanded form, (ii) a plurality of electrodes, each electrode of the plurality of electrodes may be attached to a spine of the plurality of spines, (iii) one or more struts respectively attached to at least one of the plurality of electrodes, and (iv) a force sensor attached to the distal end of the hub and at least one of the plurality of struts. The force sensor may be configured to detect a force applied to one or more of the plurality of electrodes via the one or more struts.
