Abstract
An interventional device includes a sensor interconnection region () for making electrical contact to a sensor () disposed on the interventional device. The interventional device includes an electrically conductive elongate shaft, a sensor strip (), electrical conductors (), and an electrical shield layer (). The electrical conductors () extend along the sensor strip between a sensor region () and a window () within which the electrical conductors () are exposed. The sensor strip () is wrapped around the elongate shaft () in a spiral such that the electrical conductors () extend along the longitudinal axis (A-A') within the window (), and such that an electrical shield contact portion (′) adjacent the window (), the window (), and an exposed portion of the electrically conductive elongate shaft (′) beyond the wrapped sensor strip provide the sensor interconnection region ().
