A Lifetime of Impact for Every Patient
During coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), surgical ablation (SA) and management of the left atrial appendage (LAAM) can be performed concomitantly as part of the planned cardiac procedure. Failing to include LAAM and SA during CABG procedures isn’t just a missed opportunity—it leaves patients vulnerable to a progressive electrical disease that can silently erode the benefits of structural repairs, impact quality of life, and long-term survival.1
The data is clear—and the bar has been raised.
Manage the left atrial appendage2 and surgically ablate in minutes.3 The AtriClip FLEX-Mini device and Isolator Synergy EnCompass Clamp bring speed, precision, and years of clinical confidence to your open sternotomy workflow.
AtriClip FLEX-Mini Device
Confidence in Closure
The next-generation, closed-ended, and smallest surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) management device available.
- Clinically proven to provide mechanical4 and electrical isolation of LAA5
- Utilizing a low-profile design to potentially reduce the risk of graft interference
- Delivers confidence by ensuring reliable and easy placement to the base of the appendage
Over 750,000 patients served with AtriClip devices
Isolator Synergy EnCompass Clamp
Ablations Simplified. Results Amplified.
The newest addition to a robust portfolio of bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation devices.
- Utilizes the Synergy algorithm and energy delivery system for customized energy delivery during each ablation.
- Engineered for non-atriotomy procedures, requiring minimal dissection for easy access behind the heart.
- Designed to provide effective surgical ablation in one placement through the transverse and oblique sinuses.
Over 30,000 patients served with EnCompass device
