An electrode carrying catheter (10) of high flexibility along substantially its entire length includes an elongate, flexible tube (12) defining a proximal end (14), a distal end (16), and an electrically insulative outer tubular surface (20) intermediate the ends (14) and (16). At least one electrode (30), formed of a thin, flexible layer of an electrically conductive ink, is disposed on the tube (12). Flexible conductors (29) conduct electrical signals between the proximal end (14) of the tube (12) and each of the electrodes (30a) and (30b), the conductors (29) including electrically conductive adhesive (34) disposed intermediate each of the electrodes (30a) and (30b) and the tube (12). |
