Background & Objectives
The FlexAbilityTM SE catheter has a laser-cut 8Fr 4-mm flexible tip irrigated through laser-cut kerfs with a thermocouple 0.3mm from the distal end. The TactiCathTM SE catheter has an 8Fr 3.5-mm tip and 6-irrigation port with a thermocouple 2.67mm proximal to the tip. We investigated the impact of these differences on the efficacy and safety of RF-applications.
