Cardioblate CryoFlex™
Clamp and Surgical Ablation Probe
The Convenience of a Clamp and Probe in a Single Device
The Cardioblate CryoFlex™ Clamp and Surgical Ablation Probe combines the utility of the CryoFlex™ probe with the familiar and useful delivery of a clamp. The only two-in-one cryoablation device, the clamp houses a 10 cm malleable probe that can be ejected and used separately to create lesions.
Surgeons accustomed to creating cardiac tissue ablations with a clamp can use argon-powered cryoablation in a familiar delivery system. The probe can be removed from the clamp to perform extensive ablations with a single device.
A unique viewing window in the proximal jaw of the clamp allows visualisation of frost coming completely through the tissue.
Argon gas is the coldest ablation source commercially available for the surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The CryoFlex™ probe reaches temperatures of approximately -150°C in test freezes.1
Potential adverse events with this device are similar to other cardiac surgery procedures and may include the following: bleeding; re-operation; extension of extracorporeal bypass; heart rhythm disturbances (atrial and/or ventricular); pericardial effusion; pericarditis; cardiac tamponade; pleural effusion; mediastinitis; conduction disturbances (SA /AV node); acute ischemic myocardial event; thrombus formation; low cardiac output; stroke; renal, gastrointestinal or respiratory complications; sepsis; adjacent structural damage; and death.
