FlexCath Cross™ transseptal solution
<p>The FlexCath Cross™ transseptal solution pairs with commercially available sheaths for both mechanical and radiofrequency (RF) crossing.</p>
Features
Zero exchange workflow
The integrated needle/dilator design removes the need for needle, guidewire, transseptal, and therapeutic sheath exchanges. The FlexCath Cross™ system helps reduce procedural time of transseptal access by up to 49.9% on average in comparison to traditional mechanical solutions.1,2
Zero sheath exchanges
Dilators compatible with leading industry sheaths eliminate the need for separate transseptal and therapeutic sheaths.

Versatility for your procedures
Choose the FlexCath Cross™ model that fits with your existing sheath preferences for transseptal access. FlexCath Cross™ is compatible with the following industry-leading introducers and with both mechanical and radiofrequency (RF) crossing.
Cross with control
The FlexCath Cross™ needle only deploys when activated, designed for ease of control during transseptal puncture.
- Guidewire
- Conforms to any sheath curve
- Integrated needle (advances 4 mm)
- Dilator shaft
- EGM or RF energy connector
- Needle slide button
- Luer fitting guidewire lumen
