==========================================================
According to the manufacturer:
"Microwave ablation uses rotation of water
molecules to create frictional heat, which results
in an ablation zone. This 915 MHz system can
create a contiguous ablation zone at 45 W in 10
minutes. Up to three antennas can be activated at
once, producing three lesions or one large lesion
(spacing of 1.5 – 2 cm) in just 10 minutes.
With microwave ablation, there’s no current
f low through the patient, eliminating the need
of grounding pads.
The microwave ablation antenna radiates an
energetic field into tissue, which creates an active
zone of heating, rather than relying on thermal
conduction and current f low.
The system is targeted for soft tissue. To activate,
insert the entire green radiating section into the
target tissue. The system automatically shuts
off when the ablation cycle is complete. Use
image guidance for additional confirmation
and confidence that the ablation zone has been
achieved.
• E v i d e n t TM Microwave Ablation System is the fastest ablation system for soft-tissue coagulation
• Fastest system available; ablation procedure time
reduced by more than 60 percent*
• Easy to set up
• Creates a larger zone of active heating**
and is not directly affected by impedance***
