Table 1.
Typical L value for 5 different integrated catheter. The L has been measured as a function of the deflection angle (θ). The table represents when the catheter is maximally deflected (i.e. minimum radius of curvature (ROC) and maximum optical losses (L)) and when it is straightened.
ROC (mm) | Lθ=180° (dB) | Lθ=0° (dB) | ΔL (dB) |
