About The Avecure(TM) Ablation System
MedWaves Microwave Coagulation/Ablation System overcomes limitations of existing microwave and radiofrequency (RF) thermal ablation technologies, the standard of treatment for oncology patients who are not candidates for surgery. Initially the Company focused on the general use of its coagulative technology with a high percentage of the anticipated use in patients with bone, liver and lung tumors. For these patients, adjunctive use of microwave ablation can assist in the curative and/or palliative goals of standard therapies e.g. chemotherapy and/or radiation. It can be an option for patients where other thermal modalities are not possible due to tumor size or location. The system offers potential advantages over RF thermal ablation methods in the following ways:
Unique to other microwave coagulation/ablation systems the MedWaves Microwave Coagulation/Ablation System provides potential advantages in the following ways:
