Cardioblate® BP Surgical Ablation System

Irrigated RF. Transmurality. Results.

Medtronic has developed an innovative tool providing surgeons with the means to ablate tissue easily and simply with confidence that the lesions are transmural. The unique combination of a monopolar pen and bipolar device provides the surgeon with the flexibility to modify lesion patterns based on patient requirements.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Irrigation

Irrigation is the key to creating and detecting complete cell death throughout the thickness of the tissue. Irrigation cools the surface, which not only allows heat to be driven deeper, it reduces impedance and microbubble formation for more accurate interpretation of tissue changes (cell death) for detection of transmurality.

Create Lesions with Confidence

An essential part of any procedure is feeling confident it has been successful at the time of surgery. The transmurality feedback mechanism provided by the Cardioblate® BP System alerts the surgeon when he or she has created a transmural lesion.

 

One System for Any Lesion Pattern

Surgeons are learning that not all patient require the same lesion pattern. The Cardioblate® BP system allows you to modify your lesion pattern to meet your patient's requirements.

  • The Cardioblate® BP System allows one or both devices to be used during the procedure, depending on the lesion pattern being created.

Taking Ease of Use to a New Level

The ergonomic handle design and electrode flexibility allow easy access.

The 300º rotation allows the surgeon to move the elctrode head. The 90º pitch allows the angle of the electrode head to be adjusted The malleable electrodes allow further flexibility in shaping the device to the target tissue. Bipolar irrigated electrodes provides effective lesion creation, minimize char, and provide accurate transmural feedback.
