Patent ID: 8756806

Claim:
A method for producing a catheter with a plurality of spaced apart electrodes thereon, the method comprising: forming the electrodes from respective electrically conductive elements, the electrically conductive elements being formed from a single sheet of electrically conductive material with the electrically conductive elements being spaced apart from each other and being joined by connecting portions formed by portions of the single sheet of electrically conductive material between the electrically conductive elements, the electrically conductive elements being of length sufficient to extend at least partly around the catheter, bonding the electrically conductive elements to the catheter with the electrically conductive elements being joined by the connecting portions and extending at least partly around the catheter, and severing each connecting portion from at least one of the electrically conductive elements which are joined by the connecting portion subsequent to the electrically conductive elements being bonded to the catheter to form the electrodes thereon.
