Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a transducer-electrode pair for a catheter, showing my new design;



FIG. 2 is a top view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1;



FIG. 3 is a front view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1;



FIG. 4 is a side view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1;



FIG. 5 is a rear view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1;



FIG. 6 is an enlarged partial perspective view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1;



FIG. 7 is an enlarged partial front view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1;



FIG. 8 is an enlarged partial side view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1; and,



FIG. 9 is an enlarged partial rear view of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter of FIG. 1.


The broken lines are included for the purpose of illustrating portions of the transducer-electrode pair for a catheter that form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
