Medtronic is committed to saving patients’ lives by helping you work towards better patient outcomes and prevent disease progression, with our reliable treatments.
The Barrx™ radiofrequency ablation system includes a bipolar radiofrequency energy generator designed to precisely control depth and uniformity of tissue ablation in the GI tract.
The Barrx™ flex RFA energy generator provides the flexibility to choose either the Barrx™ 360 RFA balloon catheter or Barrx™ 360 express RFA balloon catheter for larger circumferential treatment areas or a Barrx™ RFA focal catheter for treatment of smaller focal areas.
