AlCath Force
AlCath Force is a steerable, irrigated, quadripolar catheter with an integrated force sensor. It is built on the well-established AlCath Flux eXtra Gold catheter with X-shaped irrigated GoldTip electrodes, maximizing the natural cooling effect of the blood for safe and effective lesion creation at low flow rates. The advanced single optical fiber technology allows for three-dimensional force measurement. AlCath Force in combination with Qubic Force can be integrated into the AcQMap 3D Imaging & Mapping System or added into the EP lab as a stand-alone solution.
Product Highlights
Effective Lesions
BIOTRONIK’s unique GoldTip, together with its proven three dimensional x-shaped irrigation, delivers effective lesions
Lower Irrigation Flow / Volume
Innovative force sensing GoldTip with 3D irrigation holes enables uniform cooling and reduced flow rates
Stable Force Measurement
Dedicated temperature sensor reduces temperature-induced false force readings
Isolated force sensor measures contact force applied at the ablation tip, and is not affected by curve deflection
