The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore – New York, NY

PeriTorq is a catheter grip tool that is used during pediatric cardiac interventional procedures. PeriCor designed the torque tool to improve the maneuverability and stability of catheters during interventional cardiac catheterization or electrophysiology procedures. It provides catheter stability without causing internal damage.

The device can be used on catheters ranging from 4 Fr to 8 Fr, including diagnostic electrophysiology catheters, radiofrequency and cryoablation catheters and interventional catheters.

PeriCor’s PeriTorq has so far been tested with diagnostic electrophysiology and radiofrequency ablation catheters and has demonstrated excellent torquability and stability without affecting signal integrity or the ability to deliver radiofrequency energy, according to the company.
