Initial experience with a novel re-sterilisable decapolar electrophysiology catheter.

Purpose: Diagnostic electrophysiology catheters are single-use and their expense can act as a barrier to their use. A decapolar catheter with a re-sterilisable handle and inner core was developed, along with a disposable outer sheath. This initial experience evaluated the performance of the Khelix partially recyclable steerable decapolar electrophysiology catheter.
