emperatures of -160 degrees Celsius compared to nitrous-oxide systems that only reach temperatures of -65 degrees Celsius. The colder probe temperatures provide faster, deeper lesions yielding greater confidence that transmural, linear lesions are being achieved, especially in clinical situations in which varying tissue thickness is the rule.

The proprietary design utilized in all ATS CryoMaze Probes allows them to be easily shaped by hand without the need for a tool to control the radius of the bends. The probe can be repeatedly re-shaped to meet the different anatomic requirements of the individual patient and procedure. The "bellows" design of the ATS CryoMaze Probes facilitates this durable probe malleability without kinking and/or fractures.

"The development of the ATS CryoMaze 10-S Probe was our response to requests from cardiac arrhythmia surgeons for a more substantial cryoablation instrument. This is one more example of our commitment to be responsive to the needs of our cardiac surgeon customers all around the world," said Michael Dale, President and CEO of ATS Medical.
