Cardioblate CryoFlex 10-S Surgical Ablation Probe
Where Flexibility and Control Converge
Summary
The Cardioblate® CryoFlexTM 10-S Surgical Ablation Probe optimizes malleability and shape retention to provide secure tissue apposition and produce linear lesions. With added rigidity compared with the standard Cardioblate CryoFlex probes, the 10-S Probe is firm enough to secure tissue contact, yet easy to reshape by hand multiple times.
Increased Rigidity
The CryoFlex 10-S Probe is more rigid than the standard CryoFlex probes. The 10-S Probe is hand malleable, but the increased rigidity makes it a better option for surgeons desiring a more substantial cryoablation instrument.
Hand Malleable
The tip of the probe can be custom shaped quickly by hand to meet the specific needs of the surgical case. A shaping tool is not required to control the contour of the CryoFlex probe.
Adjustable Insulation Sheath
The ablation length of the probe tip can be adjusted using a sliding insulation sheath, helping to shield non-targeted tissue.
Argon-powered Cryoablation
Argon gas is the coldest ablation source commercially available for the surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The CryoFlex probe reaches temperatures of approximately -150°C in test freezes.1
Important Safety Information
Potential adverse events with this device are similar to other cardiac surgery procedures and may include the following: bleeding; re-operation; extension of extracorporeal bypass; heart rhythm disturbances (atrial and/or ventricular); pericardial effusion; pericarditis; cardiac tamponade; pleural effusion; mediastinitis; conduction disturbances (SA /AV node); acute ischemic myocardial event; thrombus formation; low cardiac output; stroke; renal, gastrointestinal or respiratory complications; sepsis; adjacent structural damage; and death.
