摘要

A catheter tip device and methods for manufacturing of a catheter tip device. The device (10) comprises a transducer module (14) attached to a capsule (16), wherein the transducer module (14) comprises a carrier (26). The carrier (26) includes a recessed-die attach area (36), a lead area (32) having at least one groove (38) disposed therein and includes a barrier (42). The barrier (42) extends from the carrier (26) to partially circumscribe the recessed-die attach area (36). The methods of manufacturing the catheter tip device (10) involve the use of inserting the carrier (26) into the capsule (16).Figure 1
