MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System MicroThermx® Brochure (PDF)

The MTX delivers microwave energy for coagulation (ablation) of soft tissue. Using advanced synchronous phased array technology, the MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System quickly heats and ablates large volumes of tissue, destroying it in minimal time.

Why Microwave?

• Faster set up. Shorter ablation times. Larger ablation zones.*
• Not limited by impedance due to charring, water vapor and air.
• No need for power roll backs that increase ablation times.
• Sustains higher intratumoral temperatures than RF.*
• Simultaneous multi-antenna ablation capability.

MicroThermX® Generator

• Delivers synchronous phased array microwave power
• One small generator; three (3) simultaneous antenna capability
• Easy touch screen operation

SynchroWave Microwave Antenna

• Internally cooled antenna shaft minimizes skin burns and unwanted tract ablation
• Full shaft length fluoropolymer coating reduces tissue adhesions
• Distinct 5 cm distal tip depth marking
• Optional handle extension with easy-fit and release design
• Light weight tubing organizer and flexible cable insulator
