Biosense Webster

Biosense Webster is a leading company in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, specializing in the development and manufacturing of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic products for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. As a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Biosense Webster has been at the forefront of innovation in the medical device industry, particularly in the area of catheter-based technologies.

History

Biosense Webster was founded in 1997 following the merger of Biosense, Inc. and Webster Laboratories. Biosense, Inc. was known for its pioneering work in the development of 3D mapping systems for cardiac procedures, while Webster Laboratories was a leader in the design and production of electrophysiology catheters. The merger combined these strengths, allowing the company to offer comprehensive solutions for electrophysiologists.

Products and Technologies

Biosense Webster is renowned for its CARTO® 3 System, a state-of-the-art 3D mapping system that provides real-time visualization of the heart's electrical activity. This system is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of complex arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.

The company also offers a range of diagnostic and ablation catheters, including the ThermoCool® SmartTouch® Catheter, which provides contact force sensing to improve the precision and safety of ablation procedures.

Research and Development

Biosense Webster invests heavily in research and development to advance the field of cardiac electrophysiology. The company collaborates with leading academic institutions and clinical researchers to explore new technologies and improve existing products. This commitment to innovation has resulted in numerous patents and a robust pipeline of new products.

Clinical Impact

The technologies developed by Biosense Webster have significantly impacted the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. By enabling more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, these technologies have improved patient outcomes and reduced the need for invasive surgical procedures.
