Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are provided herein for delivering pulsed electric fields to ablation tissue (e.g., cardiac tissue). An ablation device can include one or more contoured electrodes with contoured edges that are disposed on an insulating member of the ablation device. The contoured electrodes can be configured to reduce an electric field intensity at an interface between the contoured electrodes and the insulating member and/or a drop-off in electric field intensity.
