MICROSENSOR CATHETER AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A catheter for insertion into a body cavity, duct, or vessel for diagnostic purposes, the catheter including a flexible conduit having a microsensor device mounted thereto that generates output data from a sensed condition. The microsensor device is operatively coupled to a data acquisition device to communicate the output data to the data acquisition device. The microsensor device is mounted to a flexible dielectric substrate carrying a lead, and the flexible dielectric substrate is separate from and carried by the flexible conduit.
