The Rapid AV™ catheter was designed for the delivery of spray cryotherapy treatment for Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer – utilizing an active venting method.
Examples of additional benign and malignant applications include:
The Rapid AV™ Catheter Technology
The Rapid AV™ catheter is primarily used in gastrointestinal (GI) procedures that require active venting to ablate benign disease and malignancies such as esophageal cancer. The catheter is specially designed to deliver cold liquid nitrogen at -196oC to cause a fast freeze and allow for a slow thaw of the tissue. This fast freeze and slow thaw cycle effectively kills tissue by causing instant and delayed cell death for a more effective treatment of diseased cells of the tissue.
