Biosense Webster makes products that explore, and in some cases alter, the terrain of the human heart. Its catheters and imaging systems are used by electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists to find and treat heart arrhythmias, or irregular heart rhythms. Its CARTO XP EP Navigation System uses 3-D imaging technology to map the heart's electrical activity and lets doctors navigate effectively using the company's diagnostic catheters. Biosense Webster also makes therapeutic ablation catheters and systems that destroy faulty electric pathways in the heart that are causing arrhythmias. Biosense Webster is a member of parent Johnson & Johnson's medical devices and diagnostics division.
