SYMPLICITY SPYRAL™ RENAL DENERVATION (RDN) SYSTEM

Setting the standard in renal denervation

The Symplicity Spyral renal denervation (RDN) system is used during the Symplicity™ blood pressure procedure — the first catheter-based approach using radiofrequency (RF) energy that complements medications and lifestyle modifications to help reduce blood pressure.

  

Turn to a proven approach to treat hypertension

The Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system complements medication and lifestyle changes with an effective, evidence-based procedural approach to hypertension treatment.1–4

How renal denervation with Symplicity Spyral works:

  • Supplies precisely controlled and targeted radiofrequency energy to the renal nerves5
  • Safely disrupts the overactive sympathetic signaling between the kidneys and brain to reduce blood pressure5

System components

Symplicity Spyral multi-electrode renal denervation catheter

  • One catheter size fits vessels 3–8 mm.6
  • 4 F catheter,* compatible with 6 F guide catheter, 0.014" guidewire.
  • Easy-to-use, plug-and-play design.
  • Nonocclusive design allows for continuous blood flow to naturally protect the vessel wall.5
  • Multi-electrode, helical design covers four quadrants simultaneously for a circumferential ablation.5
Symplicity G3™ renal denervation RF generator

Symplicity G3 renal denervation RF generator

  • Unique, real-time, and responsive algorithm automatically adjusts power by monitoring temperature and impedance for safe energy distribution5
  • Multi-electrode, helical design covers four quadrants simultaneously for a circumferential ablation5,6
  • Radiofrequency energy preferentially heats fat tissue where renal nerves are located and avoids nontarget structures7
  • Only the Symplicity Spyral RDN system allows for denervation throughout the renal anatomy, including the distal branches,6 where late arriving nerves are accessible and total nerve density is highest8,9
