RF MULTI-ELECTRODES ABLATION CATHETERS (from Kardium Inc.)
Multielectrode contact mapping plus ablation with a single catheter with 122 gold-plated electrodes arrayed on 16 flat ribs, the Globe system deploys as a sphere to record electrograms, ablate, pace and measure tissue contact and temperature. Each electrode can ablate, pace, and can measure tissue contact, temperature, current, and intracardiac electrograms. The Globe® Pulsed Field Mapping and Ablation System is the most complete solution for atrial fibrillation, offering single-shot pulmonary vein isolation, high-definition mapping, and atrial ablation – all in a single catheter.
