Cardioblate® Gemini®-s
The Cardioblate Gemini-s surgical ablation device combines irrigated bipolar RF energy in creating transmural lesions with a unique bipolar design. The silastic guides and moderate jaw curve design enable insertion in the transverse and oblique sinus on both sides of the left atrium in order to create overlapping lesions that form a box.
- The only available port-access bipolar ablation clamp that facilitates the creation of a beating heart, epicardial box lesion around all four pulmonary veins for the treatment of AF
- Fits through port-sized incisions
- Flexible neck that allows gentle maneuvering around delicate structures such as the pulmonary veins and left atrium
- Single-handed operation, including hand-activated RF delivery
