Abstract:
A catheter adapted for greater mapping resolution and location precision has a basket-shaped, high density electrode assembly for large-area mapping, and an integrated distal tip providing an array of ultra-high density microelectrodes for acute focal mapping. The basket-shaped electrode assembly  18  has a plurality of electrode-carrying spines and the distal tip has a nonmetallic, electrically insulating substrate body with indentations in which microelectrodes are positioned in a manner that the outer surface is generally flush with the outer surface of the substrate body to present a generally smooth, atraumatic distal tip profile.

Claim (Index 1):
A catheter comprising:\n an elongated catheter body having proximal and distal ends and at least one lumen therethrough; a tip assembly at the distal end of the catheter body, the tip assembly comprising:\n a substrate body having proximal and distal portions and a generally solid and unitary construction, the proximal portion of the substrate body comprising a radial outer surface, and the distal portion of the substrate body comprising a domed outer surface, \n a plurality of recessed microelectrodes embedded in the radial outer surface or domed outer surface of the substrate body so that the recessed microelectrodes are flush with the radial outer surface or the domed outer surface of the substrate body, \n a plurality of microelectrode lead wires, each of the microelectrode lead wires corresponding to one of the plurality of recessed microelectrodes, and \n at least first and second isolated through holes in the solid construction of the substrate body, at least one of the plurality of microelectrode lead wires extending from the respective microelectrode through the first isolated through hole to the proximal end of the substrate body, and at least one other of the plurality of microelectrode lead wires extending from its respective microelectrode through the second isolated through hole to the proximal end of the substrate body.
