CATHETER SYSTEMS AND HANDLES

Abstract

A catheter handle that includes a housing having a longitudinal axis, the housing having a distal end and a proximal end, a mechanical interface on the distal end for coupling to a catheter, an opening on the proximal end of the housing, an aperture extending from the opening into the housing; a first electrical interface positioned on the proximal end of the housing for electrically connecting to a cable; and a second electrical interface positioned at the distal end of the housing, the second electrical interface having a proximal side facing the aperture and distal side facing the opposite direction, the second electrical interface positioned to be accessible on the proximal side via the aperture, and accessible on the distal side to electrically connect to a catheter coupled to the catheter handle.
