Ablation Catheters

RF CONTACTR™ (Dual-Curve) Series
RF ENHANCR II Series
5mm RF CONDUCTR® (MC) Series
4mm RF CONDUCTR® (MC) Series
RF MARINR® (MC) Series
5F RF MARINR® (SC) Series

RF Contactr Dual-curve Ablation Catheter

RF CONTACTR (Dual-Curve) SERIES
The 8F and 7F tip electrode RF Contactr dual-curve catheters offer
unique tip movement allowing for precise mapping and ablation in and around
anatomical structures.

  • 5mm 8F, and 4mm tip electrode catheters with Thermocouple
  • Braided stainless steel shaft
  • Dual-curve and lateral deflection curve movement
  • Four catheter models come in different shaft-to-tip stiffnesses
  • Quad (4) electrodes
  • 2/15/2 electrode spacing
  • 110 cm length

Benefits:
-- 5mm 8F electrode covers a larger surface area
-- Independently controlled proximal and distal curves
-- Dual-curve design for stable tip-to-tissue contact
-- Distal-curve deflects > 90 degrees with body temperature
-- Lateral deflection facilitates incremental out-of-plane tip movement.

RF ENHANCR® II
Single-Curve Ablation Catheters

RF Enhancr® IIErgonomic, Intuitive, Comfortable

  • Distal curve deflects up to 180° for optimal stability
  • Gear mechanism provides smooth and immediate curve actuation
  • Adjustable tension for curve control and stability
  • Elliptical-shaped handle with soft-touch material for grip and comfort

RF Conductr® (MC)

5mm RF CONDUCTR® (MC) SERIES
The 5mm 8F tip electrode RF Conductr catheters have been released for sale in the U.S. They embody anatomically optimized stability and unlock the greatest freedom of tip movement in any ablation catheters. The larger tip electrode has 37% more surface area than our standard 4mm tip catheters. They are currently available in two different models.

  • 7F steerable curve, tip tapers up to 8F, braided stainless steel shaft
  • 5mm tip electrode catheters with Thermocouple
  • Bi-directional, multi-curve, lateral deflection curve movement
  • Quad (4) electrodes
  • 2/5/2 electrode spacing
  • 110 cm length

Benefit:

-- 5mm 8F electrode covers a larger surface area
-- Multi-curve allows less stocking of single curve catheters
-- Lateral deflection allows incremental tip movement
-- Reduced shaft whipping from torque build-up
-- Bi-directional tip allows opposite direction reach
-- No other catheter offers all these features

4mm RF CONDUCTR® (MC) SERIES
The Conductr series of RF ablation catheters embodies anatomically optimized stability as it unlocks the greatest freedom of tip movement in an ablation catheter. Combinations of shaft and tip stiffness offer improved steerability for ease of placement.

  • 7F steerable curve, braided stainless steel shaft
  • 4 mm tip electrode catheters with Thermocouple
  • Bi-directional, multi-curve, lateral deflection curve movement
  • Quad (4) electrodes
  • 2/5/2 electrode spacing
  • 110 cm length

Benefit:

-- Multi-curve allows less stocking of single curve catheters
-- Lateral deflection allows incremental tip movement
-- Reduced shaft whipping from torque build-up
-- Bi-directional tip allows opposite direction reach
-- No other catheter offers all these features

RF Marinr® MC

RF MARINR® (MC) SERIES
The Marinr series of RF ablation catheters was the first catheter on the market to provide multi-curve, coupled with lateral deflection capability. These two features allow for excellent steerability of the catheter tip. Physicians that use this catheter use it for just about every location in the heart.

  • 7F steerable curve, braided stainless steel shaft
  • 4 mm tip electrode with Thermocouple
  • Multi-curve, lateral deflection curve movement
  • Quad (4) electrodes
  • 2/5/2 electrode spacing
  • 110 and 112 cm length

Benefit:

-- Multi-curve allows less stocking of single curve catheters
-- Lateral deflection allows incremental tip movement
-- Reduced shaft whipping from torque build-up
-- No other catheter offers all these features

5F RF MARINR® (SC) SERIES

5F RF MARINR® (SC) SERIES
5F Marinr series catheters are designed with the pediatric physician in mind. This catheter provides excellent steerability, and offers many different curve sizes.

  • 5F steerable curve, braided stainless steel shaft
  • 4 mm tip electrode with Thermocouple
  • Single-curve
  • Quad (4) electrodes
  • 2/5/2 electrode spacing
  • 80 and 110 cm length

Benefit:

-- Simple, single curve control
-- Six (6) models
-- Lesion volume only slightly smaller than a 7F tip electrode
-- Shaft designed for smaller vasculature
-- Smaller introducer can be used
