Cardioblate® Gemini®-x
The Cardioblate Gemini-x surgical ablation device combines irrigated bipolar RF energy in creating transmural lesions with a bipolar design that’s truly unique. A greater jaw curve allows for flexible vertical port access approaches, while the jaw accommodates varying degrees of tissue thickness.
- Allows for a “top-down” or “bottom-up” vertical port access approach
- Fits through port-sized incisions
- Flexible neck that allows gentle maneuvering around delicate structures
- Single-handed operation, including control in starting and stopping RF delivery
