Medical High-Voltage Connector Solutions: PFA and IVL Technologies


  • As medical technology continues to advance, the global demand for efficient and reliable high-voltage connectors has grown significantly. Nextron has introduced specialized high-voltage connector solutions tailored to the unique needs of the medical field. These solutions have been successfully adopted by several leading international medical device manufacturers, supporting technologies such as Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) and Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), and have been effectively utilized in clinical treatments.


High-Voltage Connector Solutions

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA):

Pulsed Field Ablation is an advanced cardiac interventional therapy that uses high-voltage pulses to generate an electric field, precisely ablating tissue associated with abnormal cardiac conduction. This technology not only minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue but also significantly enhances the safety and success rate of procedures, marking a major technological advancement in the treatment of arrhythmias.

● Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL):

Intravascular Lithotripsy is a minimally invasive technique that uses shockwave energy to safely and effectively fracture calcified plaques in blood vessels, restoring their patency and flexibility. It provides a safer option for treating calcification in coronary and peripheral arteries. Compared to traditional methods, IVL significantly reduces the risk of vascular wall damage, offering patients a more efficient and secure treatment solution. Read More About (IVL)
