How Abbott created its next-gen RF ablation system

March 25, 2024 By Chris Newmarker

An image of the Abbott TactiFlex RF Ablation Catheter showing the distal end all the way to the handle.

For Abbott, combining two innovations into one AFib-treating system required manufacturing fine-tuning. The project’s R&D director explains. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has generated a great deal of buzz for its potential to reduce complications in procedures for treating atrial fibrillation (AFib). But even as Abbott is developing its Volt … [Read more...] about How Abbott created its next-gen RF ablation system

Two-armed surgical robot prototype targets pediatric brain tumors

September 20, 2023 By Jim Hammerand

A photo of an endoscopic robot's curved arms with instruments at the end.

Researchers say they've developed a surgical robot for removing brain tumors in children, and that it could also offer a less invasive, safer option for adult neurosurgery and other procedures. The trick is using hollow, nitinol robot arms to allow neurosurgeons to swap tools during a tumor resection procedure, said Pierre DuPont. He's the chief … [Read more...] about Two-armed surgical robot prototype targets pediatric brain tumors
