Part of an integrated system
Our product innovations through integration are designed to unlock the full potential of your practice.
This integration goes beyond the simple coexistence of different instruments – it is a conscious effort to create a synergistic system that enhances overall performance and outcomes.
True clarity, speed, integration
OCTARAY™ Mapping Catheter with TRUEref™ Technology
The OCTARAY™ Mapping Catheter with TRUEref™ Technology is designed to improve signal quality, enhance mapping speed, and unleash the full potential of the CARTO™ 3 System.**,i,4,5
> 50%
Decrease in mapping time4a
In a pre-clinical study, mapping time was 56% shorter with the OCTARAY™ Mapping Catheter than with the PENTARAY™ Mapping Catheter.
2x
EGMs per map5b
In a pre-clinical study, the number of EGMs per map collected with the OCTARAY™ Mapping Catheter was 2 times higher than the PENTARAY™ Mapping Catheter
Complex made clear7
OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter with Multipolar Technology
To aid in the most complex cases, the OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter with Multipolar Technology’s intuitive design and fixed electrode array work with the CARTO™ 3 System to deliver intelligent insights and high-resolution directional mapping.8,9
Intelligent Insights: OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter and CARTO™ 3 System combine to assist with detailed understanding of complex circuits and mechanisms.7
Optimal maneuverability: OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter was rated highly for its maneuverability and its ability to deploy in the left and right atrium.10
Improvement in signal: OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter with Multipolar Technology significantly reduces far field [FF] potentials, improving identification of local potential in the Unipolar signals.d,e,11
Multi-electrode mapping
DECANAV™ Mapping Catheter
The DECANAV™ Mapping Catheter is a high-performance diagnostic catheter designed for multi-electrode mapping of the intricate left ventricle and the right atrium. Its familiar shape is slim-fitting and handles easily, so you can FAM and MEM* with confidence.12
Multi-electode mapping of intricate heart structures: Extends access throughout confined spaces and helps facilitate high-resolution outflow tract and subtrate mapping. Tip electrode supports mapping of difficult-to-reach areas.
High resolution mapping: When used with our CARTO™ 3 MEM Module it allows you to sample multiple points of cardiac mapping data simultaneously. MEM technology also provides high resolution maps with fewer maneuvers required to reposition catheters.
