Ablation systems
IceRod
by Boston Scientific Corporation
A sterile collection of disposable devices used in conjunction with a cryosurgical unit as well as monitoring and other devices to perform a surgical technique that involves freezing a targeted area of tissue to damage and destroy cancer cells in the unwanted portions. A typical set will contain cryo needles, thermal sensors, warmer tubes and catheters, warmer cassette, and tube holders. It is typically used for early stages of prostate cancer or late recurrence of localized prostate cancer after radiotherapy where the prostate is cooled to a temperature of -40° Celsius. Warming of the areas where freezing is not required is simultaneously carried out. This is a single-use device.
