Title: THERMOCHEMICAL ABLATION OF BODILY TISSUE
Usefulness: THERMOCHEMICAL ABLATION OF BODILY TISSUE
Summary: Thermal ablation system for treatment of solid tumor e.g. liver cancer. Can also be used in treatment of lung, renal, breast, prostrate cancers, sarcomas and metastatic disease.
Novelty: Thermal ablation system for treatment of solid tumor e.g. liver cancer, enables mixing of acid and base reagents delivered through fluid ports defined at distal portion of cannula, in region proximate to distal portion
Industry
