AMICA-PROBE

Description

AMICA-PROBE is a disposable applicator for microwave thermoablation.

• medical grade stainless steel cannula, with anti-sticking coating and a sliding depth stop
• pyramidal metallic tip to facilitate percutaneous access
• mini-choke (patented by the Italian National Research Council (CNR), exclusively licensed to H.S. HOSPITAL SERVICE S.p.A.) for reflected microwaves entrapment and elimination of back heating effects. Enhanced control over the coagulation pattern and size, enhanced treatment safety and repeatability
• ergonomic ” L“ shaped or straight handle
• totally disposable and pre-assembled hydraulic circuit and cables
• built-in thermocouple for cooling control
• embedded memory chip for probe identification, verification and selfsetting of appropriate working parameters and safety limits
• different cabling solutions available: integrated 2.5m cables or detachable cables (for easier probe positioning during ct-guided procedures)
• excellent tip visibility under CT and US scanning
• adaptable coagulative performance through appropriate setting of the energy delivery mode (either manual or pulsed), treatment power and treatment duration
• up to 5cm ablation diameter in 10 minutes with a single probe • average ablation sphericity (i.e. short to long ablation axis ratio) approximately equal to 0.7 in manual mode and about 0.8 in pulsed mode with a single probe
• optional temperature monitoring of the ablation site trough ITC sensor interconnected with a temperature meter.
