Mapping Catheter

The catheter's porous tip, in conjunction with contact force technology, is intended to enhance efficiency. The fluid management process is simplified by the THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® SF Catheter, which offers uniform cooling at a flow rate that is half that of earlier generation irrigated catheters. The CARTO® 3 System, which integrates contact force technology, 3-D mapping, and advanced navigation capabilities, provides active measurement of stable contact force and catheter tip location. The catheter is seamlessly integrated with this system.input:

Advantages and Features



In contrast to the SMART-AF study:input:
output:
The duration of the procedure was reduced by 19%

Fluoroscopy time was reduced by 55%.



Enhances Results by Enhancing the Stability of the Catheter-Tissue Contact Forceinput:
output:Enables the active measurement of the direction of the catheter tip and the stable contact force.

Utilizes a precision spring to generate consistent movement in response to contact force.

Transmits an accurate location reference signal through the transmitter coil and location sensor.Encourages the formation of consistent lesionsShortens the duration of the ablation processEnhances outcomes by establishing a more consistent catheter-tissue contact force
