Delivery catheters designed to reach right ventricular locations, inclusive of the left bundle branch area (LBBA).

Why choose our Site Selective Pacing Catheters

Anatomical heart model showing conduction system pacing lead path toward the left bundle branch area
The SSPC portfolio of catheters is designed to target different locations on the septum. As part of the Conduction System Pacing (CSP) portfolio, the SSPC family includes a variety of shapes and features, including a hemostatic valve and radiopaque distal tip, which facilitate accurate lead placement and navigation to the septal plane. Additionally, the slittable sheath allows for straightforward catheter removal, contributing to smoother procedures.
Navigate 
Navigate within diverse heart anatomies targeting right ventricular locations, inclusive of the LBBA. 
Reach
Reach the septal wall with a variety of catheter shapes.
Support
Support lead delivery with a robust braided catheter.

SSPC NXT Catheters feature the following enhancements:

1. Enhanced support with a reinforced braided stainless steel incorporating a stiffer polymer to provide greater catheter stability.
2. Extended length available in a 42 cm length provides 2 additional centimeters of reach.
3. New shapes specifically designed for a variety of heart sizes to enable septal placement inclusive of areas optimal for LBBAP.
4. More prominent septal curve at the distal tip allows for consistent perpendicular placement.
5. Increased sizing of outer and inner diameter facilitates ease of lead passage through the catheter and offers more stability.
