Electrode support structure assembly

摘要

An electrode support structure assembly in a body in accordance with one embodiment of the present teachings includes a plug defining a longitudinal axis. The plug includes a lumen extending in an axial direction and including an axial distal end and a distal tip adjacent to the axial distal end of the lumen and including a first channel. The assembly further includes a cap disposed around at least a portion of the plug and including a plurality of apertures and an interior. The assembly further includes a plurality of support members, each support member comprising a distal portion. The cap is configured to constrain relative movement of the distal portions of the plurality of support members with respect to the cap, and the first channel of the plug and at least one of the plurality of support members are configured to direct a fluid after exiting the lumen of the plug.

主权项

1. An electrode support structure assembly, comprising:
a plug defining a longitudinal axis and configured to connect to a fluid delivery line, the plug comprising:
(i) a lumen configured to receive a fluid from the fluid delivery line, the lumen extending in an axial direction and comprising an axial distal end; and(ii) a distal tip adjacent to the axial distal end of the lumen and comprising a first channel; a cap disposed around at least a portion of the plug, the cap comprising:
(i) a first wall extending in the axial direction and comprising a plurality of apertures; and(ii) a second wall extending inwardly from the first wall in a radial direction, the first wall and the second wall defining an interior into which the distal tip of the plug is disposed; and a plurality of support members, each support member comprising a distal portion at least partially disposed in the interior of the cap such that the cap is configured to constrain relative movement of the distal portions of the plurality of support members with respect to the cap, wherein the first channel of the plug and at least one of the plurality of support members are configured to direct the fluid after exiting the lumen of the plug.
