How it works
Clinical footage of the VersaCross Steerable Access Solution, an all-in-one device for transseptal access with high-precision steering
Results from case studies are not necessarily predictive of results in other cases. Results in other cases may vary.
Why choose the VersaCross Steerable Access Solution
Precise steering
Three solutions, one device
Know where you are at all times
OMNIviz™ technology enhances visualization on fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and electrical anatomical mapping
What’s included
The VersaCross Steerable Access Solution includes:
- VersaCross RF Wire (j-tip or pigtail)
- Single-use RFP-100A Connector Cable
- VersaCross Steerable Sheath (8.5F)
- Dilator with TRUform™ shapeable technology
- 0.035” guidewire
You can also purchase the VersaCross Steerable Sheath on its own.
Required product
Designed for controlled tissue puncture using radiofrequency energy
Clinical highlights
November 2022, study led by Dr. Dewland, published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
Randomized comparison of a radiofrequency wire versus a radiofrequency needle system for transseptal puncture
RF wire-based transseptal workflow resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, with fewer exchanges for RF ablation, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.
Publication summaries
October 2023, Berggren et al., published in Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal
In atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, utilization of the VersaCross Steerable Sheath and pigtail RF wire for transseptal puncture and RF ablation reduced the number of device exchanges, leading to improved procedural efficiency compared to the standard workflow (puncture using an NRG™ RF needle and 8.5F sheath, followed by exchange for an Agilis™ NXT steerable sheath).
November 2022, Dewland et al., published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
RF wire-based transseptal workflow resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, with fewer exchanges for RF ablation, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.
December 2021, Hiner et al., published in Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management
This single-center retrospective analysis of catheter stability evaluated contact force consistency during radiofrequency ablation using two different steerable sheaths.
White papers
September 2018
This study compared handling precision, steering response, and neutral zone consistency.
November 2017
This study compared sheath-to-dilator transition and crossing force.
November 2017
This study compared sheath tip contact force, retention of curve range-of-motion (ROM), durability, and resistance to failure.
Note: The SureFlex Steerable Guiding Sheath cited in these studies utilizes the same technology as the VersaCross Steerable Sheath.

Analysis
* Assessed by full bidirectional articulation to maximal extension up to 10 times to achieve mechanical fatigue (p=0.007). Comparison done using five SureFlex™ Steerable Guiding Sheaths and three competitor sheaths, with needle and dilator inside sheath.
† Based on bench testing conducted using SureFlex Steerable Guiding Sheath, which has identical steering mechanisms to VersaCross Steerable Sheath. Bench testing or pre-clinical study results may not necessarily be indicative of clinical performance. The testing was performed by or on behalf of Boston Scientific. Data on file.
‡ Assessed by handle rotation to a full 360° to test axial torque transfer and the maximum rotational capabilities of each sheath. Comparison done using five SureFlex™ sheaths and three competitor sheaths.
§ Assessed by a single pull to failure for the first test (27 SureFlex and five competitor sheaths), and repeated unidirectional articulation until failure or up to 300 cycles for the second test (five SureFlex and six competitor sheaths). Comparison done with needle and dilator inside sheath.
