NeuWave™ Microwave Ablation Systems

NeuWave™ Microwave Ablation Systems

Utilizing the US market-leading microwave ablation technology, the NeuWave™ portfolio of products sets a new practice in thermal ablation, offering comprehensive solutions that allow physicians to ablate lesions of many shapes and sizes with predictability and precision.1*

Microwave ablation offers a minimally invasive option for a significant patient population with medically inoperable soft tissue lesions

TARGETED

Microwave ablation is a targeted procedure that helps spare healthy tissue and may help preserve organ function.2

EFFICACIOUS

Microwave ablation is efficacious in ablating soft tissue with a low complication rate.3 Guidelines and emerging evidence are helping to expand the recommendation for the use of microwave ablation.

FAST

Most microwave ablation procedures are completed with 5-10 minutes active ablation time with many patients leaving the hospital the same or following day as the procedure.4**

ECONOMICAL

Microwave ablation may be associated with a lower treatment cost compared to other procedures such as radiofrequency ablation and surgical resection.5

Help Improve Microwave Ablation Procedure Outcomes

Help Improve Microwave Ablation Procedure Outcomes

Several recent studies have demonstrated the NEUWAVE Ablation Confirmation software (AC) can help improve visualization and precision which can contribute to improved procedural outcomes. This growing body of evidence is important as physicians continue to work toward improved workflow and outcomes utilizing minimally invasive microwave ablation.
