Millar clinical pressure-volume (PV) catheters combine pressure sensors and electrodes for simultaneous high-fidelity pressure, volume and intracardiac ECG measurements, enabling minimally invasive, continuous, intracardiac pressure-volume analysis.
PV models feature a high torque catheter body and range in size from 5 to 6 French in single-field or dual-field configurations, with non-functional pigtails. Model configurations include the availability of a second pressure sensor and up to 12 electrodes. Electrode spacing varies to accommodate a range of applications.
Millar also offers pressure-volume catheters configured for an apical approach.
