Boston Scientific has launched the Chilli II Cooled Ablation Catheter, the first bi-directional cooled-tip catheter available in the US. The Chilli II catheter offers physicians the benefits of cooled ablation technology coupled with the proven performance of the Boston Scientific Blazer catheter platform.
The Boston Scientific Chilli II Cooled Ablation System features a patented, closed-loop cooling system designed to reduce complications often encountered in standard ablation procedures for the treatment of VT. Consistent, continuous fluid circulation cools the catheter tip, reducing coagulum formation and allowing deeper lesions to be created. The closed-loop design of the system eliminates the need to add fluid and monitor flow rates during the procedure, reducing the potential for fluid overload.
Joe Fitzgerald, Vice President and General Manager of Boston Scientific's Electrophysiology business, said, "The Chilli II Catheter product that combines the known benefits of our proprietary closed- loop cooled RF ablation technology with the Blazer catheter platform. This system offers clinicians and patients a complete, easy-to-use, cooled, cardiac ablation system."
