NRG™ Transseptal Needle
Be Precise. Save Time.™
Improve crossing success rates1-3 and reduce procedure time3,4 with the revolutionary radiofrequency transseptal needle.
The standard for left heart access.
Using radiofrequency energy for your transseptal puncture saves time,3,4 reduces the rate of serious complications,1-6 and increases success rates as compared to mechanical alternatives.
Clinical Advantages‡
Successfully Cross
Successfully cross difficult anatomies.1 Cross aneurysmal septa while reducing excessive tenting,3 and fibrotic septa while reducing mechanical force.2

Lower Risk
Reduce the rate of serious complications attributed to transseptal puncture, with the use of a radiofrequency needle.1,3-6
Targeted Crossing
Cross the septum at precise locations. Fine tune your position with the rounded atraumatic tip prior to RF delivery.
Save Time
Experience a shorter, more predictable transseptal puncture time.2-4 Reduce fluoroscopy time for transseptal puncture.3,5
Visualize the Needle
Locate the RF needle on your mapping system. Visualize the tip’s exact location with a radiopaque marker during fluoroscopy.
Reduce Skiving
Reduce skiving risk when advancing through the sheath and dilator, with a rounded atraumatic tip.†,5,7
† In vitro study simulating transseptal catheterizations. Any particles generated from advancement of the transseptal needles through the sheath and dilator were collected and analyzed.
