Irrigated radiofrequency ablation

Cardioblate™ LP irrigated RF surgical ablation device

<p>The Cardioblate™ LP device uses irrigated bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to provide surgeons with a means to ablate&nbsp;cardiac tissue.</p>

Features

Access and maneuver with ease

The Cardioblate™ LP bipolar device features a design that enables access to the required anatomical structures.

Low-electrode profile provides access to challenging cardiac anatomy3

  • Lower profile when compared to Medtronic Cardioblate™ BP2 device.
  • A malleable neck provides positioning options.
  • The 5.5 inch neck is 1 inch longer than the Medtronic Cardioblate™ BP2 device.
  • The 7 cm pre-curved rigid electrodes can be rotated through 300° and feature blunt tips.

Key risks of cardiac ablation include arrhythmia, perforation, tissue burn, and organ dysfunction. For a listing of Cardioblate™ precautions, warnings, and potential adverse effects, please refer to the instructions for use.
