摘要:
Device (1) for electrotherapy and/or electrophysiology comprising at least one lead (2) having an elongated lead body extending along a longitudinal direction (X-X) and comprising a proximal end (3) and a distal end (4); and at least one paddle (5) having a paddle body comprising two opposite major surfaces (6, 7) defining a paddle thickness (33) there between; wherein said paddle (5) comprising at least one paddle electrode (8) having an exposed surface (9) designed to come into electrical contact with a living anatomy (10) inside a patient's body (11); said paddle (5) is suitable to modify the transverse encumber (12) thereof, so that to assume at least one transport configuration and at least one operative configuration, wherein the transverse encumber (12) of the paddle (5) when in said at least one transport configuration is less than the transverse encumber (12) of the same paddle (5) when in said at least one operative configuration; wherein said lead (2) comprising a connection portion (13) near the distal end (4) thereof; said connection portion (13) of the lead (2) comprises at least one arched electrically conductive surface (14); and said paddle (5) comprises at least one counter-connection portion (15) comprising at least one arched electrically conductive counter-surface (16) in direct contact with said at least one conductive surface (14) of the connection portion (13) of the lead (2), so that said at least one counter-connection portion (15) of the paddle (5) has a transversally arched shape defining a first concavity (R1) facing towards said connection portion (13) of the lead (2); said at least one conductive counter-surface (16) of the paddle (5) is in electric communication with said paddle electrode (8) through at least one conductive track (17) extending within the body of paddle (5) in such way that said proximal end (3) of the lead (2) is in electrical communication with said exposed surface (9) of the at least one paddle electrode (8)
