Treatment of irregular heartbeat often utilizes the transfer of thermal energy to/from the heart to create a lesion, using Radiofrequency heart ablation (RFA), but this additional heat may damage surrounding structures, notably the esophagus. As a major supplier of high-technology cardiology, endovascular and oncology products for use in surgery, Baylis Medical seeks to develop and bring to market within 2 years a new system for keeping the esophagus muscle temperature within the 0 - 50 deg C range by managing the esophagus internal lumen temperature. This is to be achieved by a novel balloon catheter/heat exchanger system, the thermo-fluid dynamics and materials development of which forms the basis of this Engage project. The new product will be readily applicable to radiofrequency (RF) devices, including the existing high-tech RF Puncture System developed by Baylis Medical, thus helping to save the lives of those patients undergoing RFA treatment. It is intended that the final commercial system will also be used for heating/cooling in other surgical procedures.

射频消融(RFA)治疗不规则心跳通常利用热能传入/传出心脏来造成损害，但这种额外的热量可能会损害周围结构，特别是食道。作为外科心脏病、血管内和肿瘤学高科技产品的主要供应商，Baylis Medical致力于在两年内开发并向市场推出一种通过管理食道内腔温度将食道肌肉温度保持在0-50摄氏度范围内的新系统。这将通过一种新型的球囊导管/热交换器系统来实现，其热-流体动力学和材料开发构成了该Engage项目的基础。新产品将很容易地适用于射频(RF)设备，包括由Baylis Medical开发的现有高科技射频穿孔系统，从而有助于挽救那些接受RFA治疗的患者的生命。最终的商业系统也将用于其他外科手术中的加热/冷却。
