Barrx™ 360 Express RFA Balloon Catheter

Product Details

The Barrx™ 360 express RFA balloon catheter simplifies circumferential ablation with a self-adjusting balloon catheter that eliminates the sizing process.  The custom-fitting balloon catheter automatically inflates to the appropriate size based on the patient’s esophagus.

Barrx™ 360 RFA Balloon Catheter

Product Details

The Barrx™ 360 RFA balloon catheter with a 360 degree electrode array works with the Barrx™ 360 soft sizing balloon and the Barrx™ Flex RFA energy generator to deliver a short burst (< 1 sec) of ablative energy circumferentially to the esophagus.
