BIOTRONIK, a leading European medical technology company focusing on vascular intervention and cardiac rhythm management, announces the CE mark and completion of the first successful cardiac ablation clinical case with the TRIGNUM Flux magnetic irrigated gold tip catheter.

The launch of the TRIGNUM Flux catheter represents an important introduction of unique, new technology for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation, and represents another solid block in the foundation of the rapidly growing EP business unit that BIOTRONIK is building. The first clinical case was successfully performed by Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Kuck, Director of the Cardiologic Center at the Asklepios Klinik in Hamburg, Germany. During this case a patient who presented with a comorbidity of Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter was successfully mapped and ablated in both atrial chambers of the heart.

What makes the TRIGNUM Flux so special? The TRIGNUM Flux magnetic irrigated gold tip catheter is a highly flexible ablation device equipped with three magnets at the distal end. Its complementary flexibility combined with the computer-aided magnetic-guided Stereotaxis Niobe® System ensures a precise, stable, sensitive and reproducible catheter positioning…
