Patent ID: 6926669

Claim:
A catheter for mapping and/or ablation of tissue, comprising: an elongated catheter body including a proximal section and a distal section, the distal section including a curvable proximal segment, a bendable intermediate segment and a distal segment; a proximal insulator facilitating a junction between a portion of the proximal segment of the distal section and a portion of the intermediate segment of the distal section; a distal insulator facilitating a junction between another portion of the intermediate segment of the distal section and a portion of the distal segment of the distal section; a first deflection member adapted to deflect the distal segment through the proximal segment, extending through the proximal section and the distal section and including a distal portion coupled to the distal insulator; and a second deflection member adapted to deflect the proximal segment, extending through the proximal section and the distal section and including a distal portion coupled to the proximal insulator.
