nContact has developed the VisiTrax Coagulation System based on the unique integration of suction, perfusion, and radiofrequency energy to ensure the creation of visible, continuous, non-conductive, epicardial, bi-atrial lesions on a beating heart.

Each component of the technology provides unique:

Suction

• Gently draws the uneven surface of cardiac tissue into consistent contact with the radiofrequency energy source
• Provides both audible and visual confirmation of tissue contact

Perfusion

• Perfusion through a dedicated lumen acts to cool the external surface of the device to prevent collateral tissue damage
• Directs the energy deep into the tissue to prevent charring and create consistent lesions

Energy

• Radiofrequency energy is the most common and well-known of energy sources
• Excess epicardially applied energy is absorbed by circulating blood flow in the atrium, which acts as a natural heat sink
