    Product Description
    EP Systems sells the popular transeptal Mullins introducer sheaths, and Brockenbrough curved needles. These products allow left atrial access from the venous system for catheter ablation of left-sided arrhythmogenic substrates. Many physicians prefer the transseptal approach; others use it when a transaortic (retrograde) approach is contraindicated. The stainless steel Brockenbrough needle is used to make the transseptal puncture, while the Mullins introducer sheath/dilator set serve as a conduit for the needle and the electrophysiology catheters. The needles are supplied sterile, and must be sterilized before use.
