摘要:
A catheter for the treatment of tissue, particularly for the treatment of cardiac tissue to alleviate cardiac arrhythmias includes a handle housing a combination of steering components, electronic circuitry and/or infusion tubing. An interior notch in the handle around a circumference of the handle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle provides a means for access to the sealed handle in case a repair to the interior components is necessary during manufacture or reprocessing. The circumferential frangible connection of the two halves of the handle provides access without the use of cutting or drilling devices that could damage the interior components.
