WiSE -Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) System
The WiSE CRT System was developed to address the persistent limitations of current CRT systems and to provide a more customized, patient-specific solution.
Patients undergoing CRT receive an implantable pacemaker to synchronize the pumping of the heart chambers, to improve the pumping action and in turn, reduce heart failure symptoms. CRT is an effective treatment for many patients, but limitations prevent some patients from benefiting.
The WiSE CRT System was developed to address the persistent limitations of current CRT systems and to provide a more customized, patient-specific solution.
The WiSE CRT System uses a proprietary wireless technology to deliver pacing stimulation directly to the inside of the left ventricle of the heart. This approach is designed to overcome limitations of existing CRT systems that deliver pacing stimulation to the outside of the left ventricle. Pacing from the inside of the left ventricle is believed to be more physiologic.9, 10 The WiSE CRT System is designed for more flexibility in pacing site selection to customize therapy for the individual.
WIRELESS
Does not require a wire (lead) to stimulate the left ventricle. Designed to eliminate lead complications such as placement difficulty, unintended nerve stimulation, dislodgement, extraction and repositioning.
ENDOCARDIAL
Delivers pacing stimulation directly to the inside of the left ventricle. Endocardial pacing is seen as more physiologic.9, 10, 11
CUSTOMIZED
Allows for tailored therapy to meet individual patient needs. Endocardial pacing provides a broader selection of sites for stimulation, which may lead to better patient outcomes.12
