Biosense Webster launches HELIOSTAR™ in Europe, the first radiofrequency Balloon Ablation Catheter, enabling physicians to perform more efficient cardiac ablations
Biosense Webster, Inc., a part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, has launched the HELIOSTAR Balloon Ablation Catheter in Europe. The catheter is the first radiofrequency balloon ablation catheter and is indicated for use in catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological mapping and ablation. The HELIOSTAR catheter is fully integrated with the CARTO 3 System, a 3D mapping solution, and offers a compliant balloon that can conform to varied pulmonary vein anatomy. It provides the ability to achieve single-shot pulmonary vein isolation in 12 seconds. The launch of the HELIOSTAR catheter is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of Biosense Webster, as it offers an effective and efficient technology for cardiac ablations. The article discusses the benefits of the catheter, including shorter procedure times, reduced fluoroscopy time and exposure, and potential improvements in patient access.

Innovative Health lands another catheter reprocessing clearance - Medical Design and Outsourcing
Innovative Health has received FDA clearance to reprocess the Biosense Webster PentaRay Nav eco high-density mapping catheter for reuse. The clearance allows the company to reprocess catheters, potentially saving hospitals thousands of dollars on each atrial fibrillation (AF) procedure. The PentaRay cardiology mapping catheter can do high-resolution mapping and cover all four chambers of the heart. The device was difficult to reprocess in the past because it contains microlumen technology, but Innovative Health has created new protocols and standards to remove blood and Heparin from the microlumen.
