PeriCross™ Epicardial Access Kit
Built For Procedural Confidence and Control
The PeriCross™ Epicardial Access Kit is purpose-built to support efficient, controlled access to the epicardial space via a subxiphoid approach. It combines intuitive design with integrated safeguards to assist physicians during this critical procedure helping streamline workflow and support timely access
The Challenge of Epicardial Access
Epicardial access remains one of the most technically demanding steps in electrophysiology procedures. The heart's constant motion, delicate anatomy, and lack of visual or tactile feedback contribute to a challenging and stressful environment.
Key Considerations
- Thin, mobile pericardium (~1 mm)
- Risk of cardiac and extra-cardiac complications, including RV puncture,
vascular injury, or bleeding - Conventional tools lack precision and predictability
The PeriCross Solution
System Features
- Tine-based pericardial capture to create separation before puncture
- 21G micro-puncture needle designed to minimized trauma
- Interlock prevents needle deployment until tines are engaged
- Coaxial introducer for seamless guidewire exchange
Kit Includes
- PeriCross Tunneler Assembly
- PeriCross Access Device
- .018” x 80cm Guidewire
- 5F x 18cm Coaxial Introducer

Demonstrated Clinical Performance
EASY-R Clinical Study (n=39)1:
- 100% successful epicardial access
- Mean time to access: 3 ± 3 minutes
- 20 of the 39 procedures (51.3%) achieved access in 2 minutes or less
- Low fluoroscopy time (2.0 ± 1.3 min) and minimal contrast use (0.7 ± 0.5 mL)
