Abstract

A catheter having an end effector with multiple spines forming a basket shape is disclosed herein. The end effector can include spine loops with overlapping extensions at a distal end of the end effector. The end effector can include one or more inflatable members that are deflated during delivery and inflate to prevent the distal end of the basket assembly from contacting tissue. The end effector can include a spine hub at a distal end of the basket assembly with spine loops that extend through openings of the spine hub. The end effector can include a spiral inductor at the distal end of the basket assembly. The end effector can include an atraumatic structure over a distal end of a frame of the basket assembly.
