The Barrx™ 360 RFA balloon catheter with a 360-degree electrode array facilitates esophageal ablation through the Barrx™ radiofrequency ablation system.

The Barrx™ 360 RFA balloon catheter with a 360-degree electrode array facilitates esophageal ablation through the Barrx™ radiofrequency ablation system.

The Barrx™ 360 express RFA balloon catheter simplifies circumferential ablation with a self-adjusting balloon catheter that eliminates the sizing process. The custom-fitting balloon catheter automatically inflates to the appropriate size based on the patient’s esophagus.

The new Barrx™ 360 Express RFA balloon catheter (360 Express) is a circumferential balloon catheter that contains a 4 cm long bipolar electrode that is wrapped around a balloon and features the ability to self-adjust to the esophageal lumen.

Circumferential ablation catheters. The Barrx 360 Express RFA balloon catheter (Medtronic Inc) comprises a cylindrical, self-adjusting balloon surrounded circumfer-entially by a 4-cm-long flexible copper sheet of bipolar RF electrodes that is mounted at the distal end of a 85-cm catheter with a 7-mm outer diameter, a central

Apr 21, 2016 · The Barrx 360 Express catheter, with its self-adjusting circumferential RFA catheter, lets gastroenterologists and surgeons provide RFA treatment more easily and efficiently. RFA therapy removes diseased tissue while minimizing injury1 to healthy esophageal tissue.

The Barrx™ RFA catheters leverage the proven Barrx™ technology powered by the Flex generator, designed to enable physicians to effectively treat BE patients with predictable results. REFERENCES
