Hansen Medical is showcasing its new Lynx Robotic Ablation Catheter this week at Venice Arrhythmias 2009, an International Workshop on Cardiac Arrhythmias in Venice, Italy. Pending CE Mark approval, the Lynx catheter is expected to be available in the European Union within the first half of 2010.The small, flexible irrigated ablation catheter is designed for use during the treatment of electrophysiology disorders including atrial fibrillation.

This flexibility facilitates placement in difficult to reach anatomic locations.
