Abstract
An MAP catheter adapted to be directly guided into the cardiac cavity by manual operation of the body thereof through a guide wire inserted into it. It includes a pair of Ag-AgCl lines projecting as a pair of electrodes from the end surface and the peripheral surface in the distal section of the catheter body, respectively, and lead wires connected respectively to the Ag-AgCl lines and extending outwardly beyond the rear end of the catheter body. This catheter body includes, at least in the distal section thereof, an insulating catheter closing section adapted to secure in position the non-projecting sections of the Ag-AgCl lines in a sealed condition.
