A medical device having a segmented construction. In at least some embodiments, a medical device including a plurality of conductive elongated members that are of such a length and are connected together in such a manner to impart a degree of MRI compatibility to the device. In some embodiments, the elongated members can include a series of solid elongate members and tubular elongate members, which construction provides one way to control at least some properties of the device, for example, stiffness, torque transmission, flexibility, shape retention, and the like. In yet some additional embodiments, at least one of the elongated members has a recess into which a protrusion of another elongated member may fit.

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical présentant une construction segmentée. Dans au moins certains modes de réalisation, un dispositif médical comprend une pluralité d'éléments allongés conducteurs qui possèdent une telle longueur et qui sont reliés entre eux de manière à conférer un certain degré de compatibilité d'IRM au dispositif. Dans certains modes de réalisation, lesdits éléments allongés peuvent comporter une série d'éléments allongés solides et d'éléments allongés tubulaires, ladite construction engendrant une façon de commander au moins certaines propriétés du dispositif, par exemple, la rigidité, la transmission du couple, la flexibilité, la capacité à conserver une forme, et similaire. Toutefois dans des modes de réalisation supplémentaires, au moins un des éléments allongés présente un évidement, dans lequel peut s'insérer une protubérance d'un autre élément allongé.
