ALBANY, N.Y., March 8, 2017. (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AngioDynamics (Nasdaq:ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, peripheral vascular disease and oncology/surgery, today announced it has received CE Mark certification for the Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System. The Solero MTA System and Accessories are indicated for the ablation of soft tissue during open, laparoscopic or percutaneous procedures. The Solero MTA System is not intended for cardiac use.
“The Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation System is a significant addition to our portfolio of oncology/surgery products and allows physicians to maximize the volume of tissue ablated in the shortest period of time,” said Rick Stark, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Oncology/Surgery division of AngioDynamics. “Solero is a single applicator system able to complete up to a 5 cm ablation in 6 minutes at maximum power.”
The Solero MTA System features the Solero Microwave (MW) Generator and the specially designed Solero MW Applicators. The solid state Solero MW Generator with a 2.45 GHz operating frequency can power up to 140 W for optimized power delivery and fast ablations. The Solero MW Applicator’s optimized ceramic tip diffuses MW energy nearly spherically, and its patented cooling channel with thermocouple provides real-time monitoring to help protect non-targeted tissue ablation. In addition, the Solero MTA System offers physicians scalability with a single applicator designed for multiple, predictable ablation volumes by varying time and wattage.
