To advancing AF treatment through focusing on three main areas: innovating new technology solutions, investing in research and publications to advance clinical understanding and improving education and awareness of AF among clinicians and the general public.
For over 20 years, we have been deeply committed to delivering innovative solutions designed to help clinicians reach more patients and heal more hearts.
With approximately 150 electrophysiology centres globally and a heritage of pioneering treatment in the field of EP, we are committed to advancing quality of care.
We enable lifelong learning for those on the frontlines of care at J&J Institute and strive to deliver AF education and awareness among clinicians and the general public.
Atrial Fibrillation is fast becoming one of the world’s most significant public health issues – affecting 14 millions of lives across EMEA and placing a critical burden on healthcare systems 1-3
CARTO® THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® Catheter
Deliver a measure of success to your cardiac arrhythmia patients with the CARTO® THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® Catheter. The Catheter’s stability results in more consistent contact force, producing more uniform lesions.
VISITAG SURPOINT™ Module (also known as VISITAG with Ablation Index)
By providing a built-in algorithm and standard workflow, VISITAG SURPOINT™ Module allows EPs to focus on a single value – the Ablation Index – which represents stability, power, contact force, and time. With VISITAG SURPOINT™ Module, EPs can reproduce their own successful ablation strategy in a standard and simple way by eliminating variability and improving accuracy.
CARTO® PENTARAYTM NAV eco Catheter
Experience detailed mapping across all four chambers of the heart with the PENTARAYTM NAV eco Catheter. Enjoy high signal resolution using this navigational diagnostic catheter with five soft, flexible splines for full coverage. When the PENTARAYTM NAV eco Catheter is used with our CARTO® 3 MEM version it allows you to sample multiple points of cardiac mapping data simultaneously for reduced procedure and fluoroscopy time.
CARTOSOUND® Module
The CARTOSOUND® Module with SOUNDSTAR® Catheter is the ideal addition to your ablation workflow delivering an extra measure of certainty in complex procedures.
This 3D ultrasound technology gives you all the benefits of traditional intracardiac echo while enabling full integration of the CARTO® 3 System.
CARTO SMARTTOUCH™ Software Module
Add an additional dimension of certainty with the knowledge that comes from seeing all ablation parameters displayed in real-time on a single screen. CARTO SMARTTOUCH™ Software Module allows active measurement of contact force and catheter tip direction. Integration with the CARTO® 3 System incorporates VISITAG SURPOINT™ Module (also known as VISITAG with Ablation Index) technology to display key ablation variables related to lesion formation.

Important Information: Prior to use, refer to the “instructions for use” supplied with these devices for indications, contraindications, side effects, suggested procedure, warnings and precautions. As part of the Biosense Webster policy of continuous product development we reserve the right to change product specifications without prior notification.
Always verify catheter tip location using fluoroscopy or IC signals and consult the CARTO® 3 System User Guide regarding recommendations for fluoroscopy use.* Catheter advancement should be done under fluoroscopic guidance. Do not use excessive force to advance or withdraw the catheter when resistance is encountered. Careful catheter manipulation must be performed in order to avoid cardiac damage, perforation, or tamponade.
