Product-Information
Medical devices used for the treatment of bradyarrhythmias such as atrioventricular block and sick sinus syndrome. Recent models are compact and lightweight, weighing only about 20-30g, so there is minimal impact on daily life after implantation surgery. Various products are available from different manufacturers, but it is important to select the optimal model according to the type and condition of the bradycardia.
This medical device is designed to stop lethal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Currently, the fifth generation of this device is the thoracic implantable type, and the dual-chamber type, which provides electrical stimulation to both ventricles and atria, is the mainstream type. In addition to being extremely effective against ventricular fibrillation, which is said to be a cause of sudden death, the device has recently gained prominence as an “anti-arrhythmic device” capable of treating both bradyarrhythmia and tachyarrhythmia due to its advanced pacing function.
Catheters used for cardiac electrophysiological examinations, which are essential for diagnosing arrhythmias and evaluating drug efficacy. There are fixed types with pre-shaped curves for each location and variable (steerable) types, with a wide variety of sizes and number of electrodes (4-pole to more than 64-pole). There are subtle differences in operability and stiffness depending on the manufacturer and product, making these products subject to operator preference.
Catheters used for radiofrequency catheter ablation, which is a curative treatment for tachyarrhythmias. Radiofrequency catheter ablation works by applying radiofrequency current through the electrode at the tip of the catheter to ablate the part causing tachycardia. For this reason, catheter ablation includes a temperature sensor, allowing continuous monitoring of the temperature at the site.
A system that constructs 3D images of the heart's interior, visualizes electrical circuits, and supports diagnosis and treatment. It visualizes catheters inserted into the heart chambers on screen, assisting the operator with catheter manipulation. It also contributes to reducing surgery time and X-ray exposure time.
