NEEDLE DESIGN FOR RECORDING MONOPHASIC ACTION POTENTIAL AND DELIVERY OF THERAPY

摘要

A system and associated method measure monophasic action potential signals for identifying a targeted tissue location and delivering a therapy to the targeted tissue location. The system includes a hollow needle having a sharpened distal tip, a first electrode at the distal tip and a fluid delivery lumen extending through the needle from a proximal needle end to an opening in the sharpened distal tip.
