D Series Connects Tissue Freezing Catheter

The catheter required a simple to use connector, with at least 16 contacts, that could be reliably mated 100s or 1000s of times on the system side, but inexpensive on the disposable side.

A start-up medical device manufacturer was developing a new cryoablation catheter system which used very low temperatures, rather than high temperatures, to ablate tissue in the heart to control arrhythmias. This minimally invasive procedure provides access through a small incision (typically in the groin area), letting the disposable catheter be fed up through a blood vessel to the heart, which allows for much quicker patient recovery than traditional open heart methods. The catheter required a simple to use connector, with at least 16 contacts, that could be reliably mated 100s or 1000s of times on the system side, but inexpensive on the disposable side.
