NRG^® RF Transseptal Kit

Take Control of Your Crossing.™

The standard for left heart access, in one convenient kit.

Devices designed to work flawlessly together. Optimize transseptal location to save time; deliver therapy on target.^1,2

The kit includes the NRG^® Transseptal Needle, TorFlex™ Transseptal Guiding Sheath, and optional ProTrack™ Pigtail Wire.

1 Target

Position Easily

Atraumatic NRG^® Transseptal Needle allows you to fine tune your position on the septum.

Visualize Needle Tip

Radiopaque NRG^® Transseptal Needle tip allows visualization during your procedure.

Controlled Torque

Control torque transmission with the TorFlex™ Transseptal Guiding Sheaths’ special braid design.

2 Cross

RF Puncture

Cross normal, aneurysmal, and fibrotic septa with a short, focused RF pulse from the NRG^® Transseptal Needle.^3,4

Smooth Transition

Facilitate smooth septum crossing with the TorFlex™ Transseptal Guiding Sheaths’ smooth dilator-sheath profile.

Visualize Sheath Tip

Visualize tip location with the TorFlex™ Transseptal Guiding Sheaths’ radiopaque band.

3 Access

Instantly Anchor

Introduce devices into the LA more quickly.⁵ Simply deploy the pigtail wire for instantly anchored access into the left atrium.

Exchange Sheaths

Facilitate large sheath exchange with the ProTrack™ Pigtail Wire’s stiff, stainless steel body.

Flexible Cushion

Cushion gently against the left atrial wall with the ProTrack™ Pigtail Wire’s flexible, atraumatic tip.
