<p>A catheter assembly (10) includes a catheter handle (12) having a handle body (14) defining a bore (20) and having a proximal end and a distal end. A catheter sheath (16) has a proximal part (18) received in the bore (20) of the handle body (14), the catheter sheath (16) projecting from the distal end of the catheter handle 12 and the proximal part (18) of the catheter sheath (16) carrying a series of spaced electrically conductive members (44). Each conductive member (44) is electrically connected to a conductor (38) extending in the catheter sheath (16) from the proximal part (18) towards a distal end of the catheter sheath (16). A carrier (24) is arranged in the bore (20) of the catheter handle (12), the carrier (24) carrying a series of spaced electrical contacts (32) with each contact (32) being configured to make electrical contact with one of the electrically conductive members (44) of the catheter sheath (16).</p> |
