Tip Electrode Types Overview

This document section categorizes various catheter tip electrode types by size and design, highlighting their specific applications and compatibility with different catheter models.

Electrode Sizes and Corresponding Catheter Types

• 1 mm Tip: Used in Fixed Curve and Small Dome Deflectable Catheters.
• 3 mm Tip: Found in 5F Large Dome Deflectable and CRISTACATH® Catheters.
• 3.5 mm Irrigated Tip: Specific to THERMOCOOL® Catheters, designed for irrigation during procedures.
• 4 mm Tip: Utilized in 6, 7, and 8F Large Dome Deflectable Catheters.
• 4 mm Grooved Tip: Present in 6, 7, and 8F Grooved Tip Deflectable Catheters, likely enhancing contact or cooling.
• 5 mm Tip: Used in 7F and 8F Large Dome Deflectable Catheters.
• 8 mm Tip: Found in 7F Dual Sensor Deflectable Catheters, possibly for enhanced sensing capabilities.

Key Notes

The illustrations referenced are not to scale, indicating that size comparisons are conceptual rather than precise. The variety in tip sizes and designs suggests tailored applications depending on procedural requirements and catheter compatibility.
