This will be the first study evaluating the use of Baylis' Transseptal equipment during a special type of atrial fibrillation procedure that uses a cryoablation balloon catheter to ablate tiny areas in the heart that cause rapid and irregular heartbeats.
Dr. Allan Skanes, CANet's AF Theme Leader and Director of the London Heart Rhythm Program, has described the Baylis technology as a "slicker and more useful version of the old sharp needle technique" that gives physicians greater control and precision in crossing the septum. Baylis' product is designed and manufactured in Canada, and cleared for use in several jurisdictions, including Canada, the U.S., EU and Japan.

CANet's Scientific Director and CEO Dr. Anthony Tang says the study serves as an example of how clinicians and industry partners can work together to improve patient outcomes and enhance productivity in the healthcare system.
"We hope from this study to demonstrate that by treating patients earlier in their disease, we can potentially reduce the risk of stroke and other heart problems from occurring later. The goal is to see this surgical intervention become a frontline treatment for more patients in Canada, and around the world." says Dr. Tang.
The early release of Baylis' NRG® Transseptal Needle was made possible, in part, by a repayable matching contribution of $15.2 million from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) through its Advanced Manufacturing Fund.
"We are pleased to match Baylis' investment to accelerate the development and commercialization of the first-in-Canada medical devices that will be used by doctors during heart procedures," says the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for FedDev Ontario. "Such innovative and transformative products are expanding international markets for made-in-Canada technologies that have a positive impact on patients around the world."
