    Abstract: A catheter sheath device may include an elongate member and a moveable member. The elongate member may include a first lumen, and the moveable member may include a second lumen. The moveable member may be physically coupled to a portion of the elongate member to permit relative movement therebetween. A first relative movement between the moveable member and a portion of the elongate member may cause the second lumen to be positioned at a first location that permits delivery of at least a portion of a catheter into the second lumen but not into the first lumen from the second lumen. A second relative movement between the moveable member and the portion of the elongate member may cause the second lumen to be positioned at a second location that permits delivery of the at least the portion of the catheter through both the second lumen and the first lumen.

    Abstract: A catheter navigation system may be configured to produce a plurality of location signal sets indicating a three-dimensional location of a portion of a catheter in a bodily cavity and a plurality of contact signal sets indicating degrees of detected-transducer-to-tissue contact within the bodily cavity. The catheter navigation system may be configured to, based on the location signal sets and the contact signal sets progressively visually represent in a progressively enlarging manner at least a portion of an envelope representing an interior volume of the bodily cavity, concurrently with a visual representation of transducer graphical elements representing transducers that produce the location signal sets, the contact signal sets, or both, of the portion of the catheter. The visual representation of the at least the portion of the envelope, the transducer graphical elements, or both, may respectively visually represent historical and/or presently detected degrees of transducer-to-tissue contact.

    Abstract: A device positionable in a cavity of a bodily organ (e.g., a heart) may discriminate between fluid (e.g., blood) and non-fluid tissue (e.g., wall of heart) to provide information or a mapping indicative of a position and/or orientation of the device in the cavity. Discrimination may be based on flow, or some other characteristic, for example electrical permittivity or force. The device may selectively ablate portions of the non-fluid tissue based on the information or mapping. The device may detect characteristics (e.g., electrical potentials) indicative of whether ablation was successful. The device may include a plurality of transducers, intravascularly guided in an unexpanded configuration and positioned proximate the non-fluid tissue in an expanded configuration. Expansion mechanism may include helical member(s) or inflatable member(s).
