TactiFlex will enable physicians to have better visualisation allowing for more accuracy and precision
Abbott has launched TactiFlex Sensor-Enabled Ablation Catheter, with a flexible tip and contact force technology. TactiFlex is a catheter used to perform ablation procedures that treat AFib. The device results in reduced procedure times and better safety as compared to the company’s previous generation catheters.
“For those suffering from AFib, daily tasks can be challenging due to dizziness, chest pain and heart palpitations. If left untreated, AFib can also lead to a stroke, making it critical to address the issue as early as possible,” said Henry Cheng, General Manager, Asia and Director Strategy, Asia Pacific for Abbott’s Electrophysiology business. “This device helps doctors restore normal heart rhythms by guiding electrical currents back to their proper pathways.”
When used with the EnSite X EP System, doctors can accurately map and identify areas of the heart that need treatment, ensuring precise results and better patient outcomes. Unlike other catheters, the TactiFlex catheter uses a tip design with a laser-cut pattern that flexes when in contact with the heart wall. This helps direct fluid to the treated tissue and allows for more accurate positioning of the catheter – providing up to two times higher stability in a beating heart, for consistent therapy delivery.
