Cardioblate® Surgical Ablation System

Medtronic has developed an innovative surgical tool for surgeons performing surgical ablation procedures.

The Cardioblate® System uses RF energy to ablate cardiac tissue. The system includes the Cardioblate® pen and generator.

 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Irrigated electrode

  • provides a low impedance path which allows the energy to be driven further into the tissue, creating a deeper lesion
  • facilitates the transfer of the RF energy, allowing the surgeon to oscillate the pen over the tissue without applying pressure
  • cools the surface of cardiac tissue to minimize any charring

Easy to use pen

  • malleable shaft allows surgeon to shape device to reach all areas of the heart
  • ergonomic hand-held design

Dedicated RF generator

  • specifically designed for use on cardiac tissue during cardiac procedures
  • simple set-up and use

Compatible with any infusion pump

  • eliminates the need for purchase of additional infusion equipment
