Overview

The Emprint™ HP ablation generator gives you more volume, with a single antenna.1

Using our patented Thermosphere™ technology, the Emprint™ HP ablation generator enables a minimally invasive procedure with:​

  • Large ablations, with up to 40 percent more volume compared to the original Emprint™ ablation system1​
  • Proven spherical shape,2,3 giving you flexibility in antenna placement approach4​
  • Consistent ablative margins greater than 5 mm4,†​
  • Scalability, allowing you to create both small and large ablation zones1

Technology

Eradicate non-resectable liver tumors4

Our patented Thermosphere™ technology can help lower the chance of local tumor recurrence by achieving large ablation volumes with predictable margins.7​​

Our purpose-built innovation helps you eradicate your patients’ non-resectable liver tumors and preserve more of their healthy parenchyma4,6 — because their future depends on both.

Emprint™ ablation system with Thermosphere™ technology​

The Emprint™ ablation system enables a minimally invasive procedure with recovery time,11,12 high accuracy,7 and predictable margins.7

Emprint™ percutaneous antennas with Thermosphere™ technology​

The Emprint™ ablation generator is compatible with the Emprint™ percutaneous ablation antenna. Our patented Thermosphere™ technology creates a predictable ablation zone focused at the end of the antenna, with no significant influence from varying tissue conditions.7

Antennas are available in three lengths: short (15 cm), standard (20 cm) and long (30 cm).​

Clinical evidence

Multi-institutional analysis of outcomes for Thermosphere™ microwave ablation treatment of colorectal liver metastases:
The SMAC study​

Conclusion: Thermosphere™ microwave ablation (T-MWA) is a safe and effective treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) with no biliary complications reported in more than 200 ablated lesions. local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS) is affected by lesion size at ablation, number of lesions, minimal ablation margin, and intra-segment progression. Chemotherapy before ablation (CBA) modifies kinetics growth of the lesions but deteriorates ablation margins and does not significantly impact local tumor progression-free survival.​
