From Which Medical Device
A steerable 10 pole catheter for multipurpose cardiac mapping during EP study and ablation. It has a 6F diameter which is smaller than most competitors.
The curve is long enough to reach most (but not all) CS orifices. The twist mechanism in the handle is easier to use than stiffer push pull catheters, and the torque can be controled more exactly.
The original CSM had a secondary hook on the tip which helps to negotiate the great cardiac vein if esired,and would be a useful variation if still available.
