Patent ID: 8864675

Claim:
Catheter comprising: a catheter body having an outer tubular body that extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the catheter body; a deflectable member, located proximate the distal end of the catheter body and comprising an electrical device, wherein at least a portion of the deflectable member is permanently located outside of the outer tubular body at the distal end of the outer tubular body; at least one live hinge interconnecting the catheter body to the deflectable member, wherein the at least one live hinge comprises a first portion supportably interconnected to the distal end of the catheter body, a second portion to which the deflectable member is supportably interconnected, and a live hinge portion that includes a hinge line and is operable to allow the second portion and deflectable member to hingedly pivot relative to the first portion and distal end of the catheter body; an electrical conductor electrically interconnected to the electrical device and extending between the deflectable member and the distal end of said catheter body; and, a lumen extending through the catheter body from the proximal end to an exit port that opens to outside of the catheter, the exit port located distal to the proximal end, wherein the lumen is for delivering an interventional device advanced through the lumen and the exit port to outside of the catheter.
