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.
