CIRCA Scientific Introduces Breakthrough RF Transseptal Access System for Cardiology Procedures

CIRCA Scientific Unveils CrossWise™ RF Transseptal Access System

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 12, 2025 – CIRCA Scientific has made a significant advancement in the field of cardiology with the introduction of its innovative CrossWise™ RF Transseptal Access System. This state-of-the-art system aims to transform procedures requiring access to the left side of the heart by providing precise puncture capabilities and a streamlined workflow that eliminates the need for exchanging instruments.

The CrossWise system features radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery directly to the tip of a shapeable, radiopaque cannula, which allows for more accurate navigation during critical interventions such as atrial fibrillation ablations, left atrial appendage occlusions, and mitral valve procedures. Notably, its zero-exchange design ensures that a guidewire remains accessible throughout the procedure, significantly enhancing efficiency by reducing complexity and material usage.

Lee Geist, President and CEO of CIRCA Scientific, commented on the launch, stating, "The introduction of CrossWise represents a meaningful advancement in transseptal access. The system is designed to offer consistent performance while enhancing control, visibility, procedural efficiency, and potential cost savings for physicians."

The clinical benefits of the CrossWise system have already been recognized by experts in the field. Dr. Gregory Feld, MD, from the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center at UC San Diego, shared his thoughts on the technology's impact: "CrossWise is a valuable addition to our EP lab, offering significant benefits for the many procedures requiring transseptal access. Its seamless integration with our existing tools and techniques ensures it adapts effortlessly to our established workflow."

This innovative system aligns with CIRCA Scientific's CardioCentric™ strategy, which aims to expand its product offerings with advanced solutions designed for complex medical interventions in the realms of Cardiac Electrophysiology and Interventional Cardiology. The company's commitment is evident as they focus on enhancing procedural success and improving patient care through innovative technologies.

As a leader in empowering medical professionals, CIRCA Scientific strives to provide tools that enhance visibility and control in procedures where precision is paramount. The CrossWise RF Transseptal Access System is poised to change how cardiology departments operate by streamlining processes and improving outcomes for patients nationwide.
