METHOD FOR FORMING AN ULTRASOUND DEVICE, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS
摘要
A method and apparatus directed to formation of a connection with an ultrasonic transducer apparatus (UTA) comprising a transducer device having first and second electrodes is provided. The UTA is engaged with an interposer device surface. The interposer device is greater in at least one lateral dimension than and extends laterally outward of the UTA, and comprises at least two laterally-extending conductors. A conductive engagement is formed between the first and second electrodes and respective first ends of the conductors. A connection support substrate is engaged with the interposer device about second ends of the conductors, and includes at least two connective elements for forming a conductive engagement with the respective second ends of the conductors. The UTA is then inserted into a catheter member lumen such that the device plane of the UTA and the at least two connective elements extend axially along the lumen.
