Abstract:
Intravascular devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the intravascular devices include at least one pressure sensing component positioned within a distal portion of the device. In some instances, a plurality of conductors are electrically coupled to the pressure sensing component and a potting material covers the electrical connections between the plurality of conductors and the pressure sensing component. In some instances, the potting material has a durometer hardness between about 20 Shore A and about 50 Shore A, a moisture absorption rate of about 0% per twenty-four hours, a linear shrinkage of 0%, a coefficient of thermal expansion (m/m/-° C.) of between about 1.0×10 −5  and about 5.0×10 −4 , and a volume resistivity (Ω-cm) between about 6.0×10 13  and about 1.0×10 14 . Methods of making and/or assembling such intravascular devices/systems are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
An intravascular sensing device, comprising:\n a flexible elongate body comprising a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a lumen extending along a length of the flexible elongate body between the proximal and distal portions; a sensor housing disposed at the distal portion of the flexible elongate body, wherein the sensor housing comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion; a sensor disposed within the distal portion of the sensor housing; a plurality of conductors electrically coupled to the sensor and extending from the sensor through the lumen to the proximal portion of the flexible elongate body; a potting material within the distal portion of the sensor housing, the potting material covering electrical connections between the plurality of conductors and the sensor, the electrical connections being at the distal portion of the sensor housing; and an adhesive within the proximal portion of the sensor housing, wherein the adhesive is in contact with the plurality of conductors at the proximal portion of the sensor housing.
