Funded Activity Summary

The development of microwave cardiac ablation system is crucial to the development towards a permanent cure for cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac ablation using microwave energy can overcome the limitations of current ablative energy such as laser and RF ablation. Based on the combined knowledge and experience of UTS and Westmead hospital researchers, the proposed research is to develop a working prototype of cardiac ablation system using microwave energy based on our patent. The ultimate aim would be to attract interested industry parties to take up for full production and commercialisation.
