                               POWER OF ATTORNEY

       Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of Tonya Austin and Jeanette Yacucci signing singly, the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

       (1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, Forms 3, 4 and 5 in
           accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
           and the rules thereunder with respect to the undersigned's beneficial
           ownership of securities of AtriCure, Inc. (the "Company").

       (2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
           which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
           Form 3, 4 and 5 and timely file such form with the United States
           Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar
           authority; and

       (3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
           foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
           benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the
           undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
           attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
           of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
           conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-
           fact's discretion.

       The undersigned hereby grants to such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute  or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorney-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming any
of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

       This Power of Attorney shall not supersede any power of attorney
previously executed by the undersigned and shall remain in full force and effect
until the undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with
respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities, unless
earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorney-in-fact.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 23rd day of May, 2013.

                                       By:  /s/ M. Andrew Wade
