The Cool-tip RF Ablation System uses an electrode with a closed circuit of cooled saline to cool the electrode tip and prevent charring. The system is impedance controlled. Note, this version of the Cool-tip is discontinued and has been replaced by the manufacturer with the Cool-tip RF...
read full descriptionThe Cool-tip RF Ablation System E Series is Covidien's latest (as at March 2013) addition to the Cool-tip range. The device uses an electrode with a closed circuit of cooled saline to cool the electrode tip and prevent charring. The system is impedance controlled and CE marked....
read full descriptionThis robotic device from Quantum Surgical is said to allow planning, targeting, delivery and confirmation of tumour ablation. It can use image fusion and appears to use a similar guidance system to Cassination. I dont know whether it is capable of giving better results than a good...
read full descriptionThe device was on show at CIRCE 2016, in Barcelona. Our Editor-in-Chief, Dr Phil Haslam was there. He said, "This is an unusual thermal ablation system with one device applying either RF or microwave power for ablation. The advantage is you would have one system to treat larger hepatic...
read full descriptionAn interesting device that can be switched between power modulation or temperature modulation modes. This presumably varies between the different types of ablation needle. The power modulation mode likely relies on impedence feedback such as in the cooltip device from Medtronic ad RF 3000...
