RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION CATHETER AND SYSTEM
Embodiments of the present application disclose a radiofrequency ablation catheter and a system. The radiofrequency ablation catheter includes: a catheter body; a localization sensor fixedly arranged inside the catheter body; and ablation electrodes fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the catheter body and used for generating radiofrequency currents, wherein the localization sensor generates a current signal in response to a localization magnetic field of a space where the localization sensor is located, and outputs the current signal to a control system outside the radiofrequency ablation catheter, so as to enable the control system to determine a position of the radiofrequency ablation catheter. The radiofrequency ablation catheter and system provided by the embodiments of the present application may help the ablation electrodes to be placed in the lesion positions more accurately.
Low cost blood collection set using blister package
A low cost fluid collection set having an integrated package including a needle cannula having a first end and a second end, a hub configured for supporting the needle cannula, and a package at least partially enclosing the needle cannula and the hub is disclosed. The package includes at least one openable region configured for receiving a fluid collection device therein wherein this openable region is in communication with at least one of the first end or the second end of the needle cannula and wherein the package is configured to be used as a holding device to manipulate the needle cannula during fluid collection. The package also functions as a shield for the first end of the needle cannula after use. A method of using the fluid collection set having an integrated package and a method of making the fluid collection set is provided.
