An ablation catheter comprises a shaft and at least one ablation electrode which may be fixed or movable relative to the shaft. An insulating cap is placed over portions of the electrode which are susceptible to high current concentrations when RF energy is applied to the electrode. Typically, such portions occur in the region of abrupt surface transitions such as the edges of the electrode.
