CERABLATE flutter® is especially designed for the treatment of atrial flutter. The large 8mm gold-tip allows for particularly fast and efficient lesion formation while improving patient safety due to reduced thrombus formation1,2,3.
Special Features:
- Very fast temperature measurement for greatest safety; tip electrode
especially designed for fast and deep lesions
- Reduced coagulation formation and reduced ablation time
- Ultra-precise mapping possible due to extra small distance between first
and second catheter pole which makes this catheter especially suitable for
the Maximum Voltage Guided (MVG) ablation approach2,3,4.
