Cardioblate® CryoFlex™ Surgical Ablation Probe
The Cardioblate Cryoflex Surgical Ablation Probe provides the capability of creating deep, extensive lesions to treat atrial fibrillation through a single, right-sided thoracotomy. This probe uses Argon gas cryoablation around vulnerable tissue structures (including the coronary sinus, mitral valve annulus, and tricuspid valve annulus) compared to ordinary dry radiofrequency.1
- Probe tip achieves temperatures of approximately -150° C in test freezes2
- Probe tip can be reshaped by hand to achieve good tissue apposition in varying surgical situations and approaches
- A single probe can be used for the entire procedure
- Can create deep, reproducible lesions
