The Abbott TactiCath Contact Force Ablation Catheter (REF 402271) is an irrigated, deflectable-tip radiofrequency ablation catheter engineered for cardiac electrophysiology procedures. It integrates real-time contact force sensing technology at the distal tip, providing operators with objective feedback on tip-to-tissue contact during mapping and ablation. The catheter is designed for use with compatible Abbott EP recording, mapping (including EnSite) and RF generator systems.
Key Features
Distal tip contact force sensor reporting force magnitude and directional vector in real time.
Open-irrigated tip to support stable lesion formation during RF energy delivery.
Deflectable, bidirectional steering for navigation in complex cardiac anatomy.
Compatible with Abbott EnSite cardiac mapping systems for 3D visualization and Force-Time Integral (FTI) / Lesion Index metrics.
Multiple electrodes for local signal recording and pacing.
Single-use, sterile packaged device.
Clinical Applications
Diagnostic mapping and radiofrequency ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in an electrophysiology lab setting.
Procedures where real-time contact force feedback supports the electrophysiologist in assessing catheter-tissue coupling.
Use within hospital EP programs equipped with compatible Abbott capital equipment and irrigation pumps. Refer to the current manufacturer Instructions for Use for the specific indications, contraindications, warnings, and approved clinical uses in your region.
