MWA
Microwave ablation
A minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that uses microwave energy to generate high temperatures, leading to coagulative necrosis of cells and destruction of tumor tissue.¹
Clinical benefits of MWA
MWA does not require grounding pads because it uses an electromagnetic field rather than an electrical current, and it is less affected by the heat-sink effect caused by nearby blood flow. This allows for more consistent ablation near vessels.
Grounding and Heat-sink consideration ²MWA does not require grounding pads because it uses an electromagnetic field rather than an electrical current, and it is less affected by the heat-sink effect caused by nearby blood flow. This allows for more consistent ablation near vessels.
MWA can produce larger and more uniform ablation zones and generally shorten procedure time.
Ablation Efficiency & Zone Size ²MWA can produce larger and more uniform ablation zones and generally shorten procedure time.
MWA is performed through slender antennas; modern systems use integrated shaft cooling to keep antenna diameters small while permitting higher power delivery.

How MWA works
 Deliver microwave energy ²A thin antenna directs microwave energy into the target tissue. |  Heat the tissue through water molecules activation ²Microwave fields cause water molecules to rotate rapidly, generating frictional heat that spreads quickly and evenly through the tissue. |  Achieve controlled ablation ²The tissue reaches temperatures that reliably destroy the targeted tumor cells. |
