Products and Services

AtriCure boasts a diverse portfolio of products and services designed to support cardiac surgery and pain management. The company’s offerings include:

• Isolator Synergy Clamps: These clamps are single-use, disposable products utilizing radio frequency to facilitate surgical ablation of cardiac tissue. They represent a cornerstone of AtriCure’s ablation solutions.
• MAX Pen Device: A multifunctional pen that enables surgeons to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, perform temporary cardiac pacing, sensing, stimulation, and ablate cardiac tissue using a single device. This innovative approach streamlines procedures by consolidating functionalities.
• Coolrail Device: Designed to create longer linear lines of ablation, the Coolrail device simplifies the process of cardiac tissue ablation, making it more efficient for surgeons to perform complex procedures.
• cryoICE Cryoablation System: This system allows for the creation of linear ablations of varying lengths through cryoablation, offering an alternative modality to treat cardiac arrhythmias.
• EPi-Sense Systems: A cutting-edge solution for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation, the EPi-Sense System is a single-use device that represents AtriCure’s commitment to addressing complex cardiac conditions.
• cryoSPHERE Probe: Specifically designed for pain management, the cryoSPHERE probe applies cryothermic energy to targeted peripheral nerves in the ribcage to provide temporary relief from pain.
• AtriClip System: This system features an implantable device paired with a single-use disposable applier, intended for the exclusion of the left atrial appendage, a procedure often required in the management of atrial fibrillation.
• LARIAT System: As a suture-based solution for soft-tissue closure, the LARIAT System exemplifies AtriCure’s innovative approach to post-procedural care, offering a novel method for securing tissue after surgical interventions.
• Additional Tools: AtriCure also supplies a range of supplementary tools such as the Lumitip dissectors for tissue separation, Glidepath guides for clamp placement, Subtle Cannula’s to facilitate access for EPi-Sense catheters, and various reusable instruments for cardiac surgery, underlining the company’s comprehensive approach to cardiac care solutions.
