Cerablate cool®
Steerable Ablation Catheter with irrigated GOLD-Tip

CERABLATE cool® is a gold-tipped 4mm irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter. The patented design of the catheter tip contains 25 irrigation holes that provide highly efficient cooling of the electrode.

Special Features:
- Due to efficient cooling, the choice of materials used and the overall design,
  it is possible to create deeper lesions with reduced coagulation formation
  and higher efficiency 1,2.

Cerablate flutter®
Steerable Ablation Catheter with 8 mm GOLD-Tip

CERABLATE flutter® is especially designed for the treatment of atrial flutter. The large 8mm gold-tip allows for particularly fast and efficient lesion formation while improving patient safety due to reduced thrombus formation1,2,3.

Special Features:
- Very fast temperature measurement for greatest safety; tip electrode
  especially designed for fast and deep lesions
- Reduced coagulation formation and reduced ablation time
- Ultra-precise mapping possible due to extra small distance between first
  and second catheter pole which makes this catheter especially suitable for
  the Maximum Voltage Guided (MVG) ablation approach2,3,4.
