VersaCross Large Access Solution and VersaCross Steerable Access Solution

Seamless transseptal access workflows for your mitral procedures

Streamline transseptal access to therapy delivery in your mitral procedures

Achieve left heart access with a single solution from start to finish using the VersaCross™ 3-in-1 RF technology, which serves as your starter wire, RF puncture device, and exchange guidewire to secure access in the left atrium without exchanges. 

Why choose VersaCross Access Solutions for your mitral procedures?

Discover the exchangeless approach to left heart access.

Sophisticated 3-in-1 RF wire

The VersaCross RF wire facilitates more consistent site-specific crossing of the interatrial septum, allowing you to optimize your transseptal puncture location in any anatomy.1,2,3,4,5 The optimized electrode design paired with our generator settings may improve puncture efficacy, minimize thermal injury, and eliminate embolic coring risk, while the use of electrified guidewires for transseptal puncture has been associated with damage to the guidewire and dilator, as well as risks of thrombus, thermal injury and tissue scarring.6,7

Reinforced transseptal dilator

Reinforced with TRUform™ Shapeable technology, the VersaCross Transseptal Dilator facilitates a familiar handling experience to a needle-based transseptal system and retains your desired curve. Reshape the dilator within your sheath to optimize transseptal assembly positioning for various anatomies.*,1

Dedicated RF puncture generator

The RFP-100A™ RF Puncture Generator** was designed to create small, targeted transseptal punctures via the delivery of proprietary RF energy waveforms. The generator enables shorter RF activation time, while built-in safety features limit the voltage, current, and power. Use of the RFP-100A™ RF Puncture Generator** with the VersaCross RF Wire has been shown to result in smaller puncture sites, improved transseptal puncture consistency 6,3,7 and enable successful transseptal puncture with fewer and lower energy applications required when compared to electrified guidewires or needles.6
