Mapping catheter THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH®SF

radiofrequency ablationcardiac8 FR

The porous tip of the catheter paired with contact force technology is designed to optimize efficiency. The THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® SF Catheter provides uniform cooling at half the flow rate of earlier generation irrigated catheters, easing the fluid management process. The catheter is seamlessly integrated with the CARTO® 3 System, which combines contact force technology, 3-D mapping and advanced navigation capabilities to provide active measurement of stable contact force and catheter tip location. Features & Benefits Compared to SMART-AF study: Procedure time reduced 19% Fluoroscopy time reduced 55% Improves Outcomes with More Stable Catheter-Tissue Contact Force Allows active measurement of stable contact force and catheter tip direction Provides consistent movement in response to contact force using precision spring Sends accurate location reference signal via location sensor and transmitter coil Promotes consistent lesion formation Reduces ablation time Improves outcomes with more stable catheter-tissue contact force
