Results from case studies are not necessarily predictive of results in other cases. Results in other cases may vary.


Why choose the VersaCross Steerable Access Solution

Precise steering

VersaCross Steerable Sheath with TruGlide handling, steering from straight to 180 degrees.

TruGlide™ handling

Responsive, smooth, high-precision steering to confidently position your curve

Hand with surgical glove holding the VersaCross Steerable Access Solution with tactile feedback and a rotating dial.

Tactile feedback

Intuitive tactile feedback allows you to feel the extent of your curve deflection

Consistent contact force

Maintains 100% of its initial contact force following fatigue testing. In the same conditions, the leading competitor experienced 52% loss*

VersaCross Steerable Sheath positioned in multiple, bidirectional curve angles.

Strong and durable

High performance with over 300 articulations and greater durability than the leading competitor*

Clinical highlights

November 2022, study led by Dr. Dewland, published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology

Randomized comparison of a radiofrequency wire versus a radiofrequency needle system for transseptal puncture

RF wire-based transseptal workflow resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, with fewer exchanges for RF ablation, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.

25% faster

Time to first transseptal puncture with less variability in procedure time

32% faster

Total transseptal puncture time with the RF wire-based workflow

30% lower

Trend for overall fluoroscopy time compared to needle-based workflow


Publication summaries
