Cardioblate CryoFlex Surgical Ablation Probes

Malleability that Conforms to Any Anatomy

Summary

Cardioblate® CryoFlex™ Surgical Ablation Probes are distinctly malleable, allowing them to be easily shaped and reshaped by hand to address varying tortuous anatomical situations from multiple surgical approaches. The probes are available in 7 cm and 10 cm lengths.

Hand Malleable

The tip of the probe can be custom shaped quickly by hand to meet the specific needs of the surgical case. A shaping tool is not required to control the contour of the CryoFlex probe.

The distinctly malleable Cardioblate® CryoFlex™ Surgical Ablation Probe

Cardioblate® CryoFlex™ Surgical Ablation Probes are distinctly malleable,
allowing them to be easily shaped and reshaped by hand.

Adjustable Insulation Sheath

The ablation length of the probe tip can be adjusted using a sliding insulation sheath, helping to shield non-targeted tissue.

Argon-powered Cryoablation

Argon gas is the coldest ablation source commercially available for the surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The Cardioblate CryoFlex probe reaches temperatures of approximately -150°C in test freezes.1


Important Safety Information

Potential adverse events with this device are similar to other cardiac surgery procedures and may include the following: bleeding; re-operation; extension of extracorporeal bypass; heart rhythm disturbances (atrial and/or ventricular); pericardial effusion; pericarditis; cardiac tamponade; pleural effusion; mediastinitis; conduction disturbances (SA /AV node); acute ischemic myocardial event; thrombus formation; low cardiac output; stroke; renal, gastrointestinal or respiratory complications; sepsis; adjacent structural damage; and death.
