2.45GHz Ablation System
Certus 140 Ablation Probes were designed to meet clinical needs and help ensure patient safety. Percutaneous
Guide to Power and Time
probes are minimally-invasive, industry leading 17 gauge to help minimize the risk of complications during probe placement.
The patented triaxial antenna design offers high power, and efficient energy delivery to achieve tissue ablation/coagulation,
including for hemostasis. Certus 140 Ablation Probes are specially designed to be highly visible under CT and Ultrasound to
help ensure proper placement into the tissue. The revolutionary CO 2 cooling system offers Tissu-Loc Technology, enabling
TM
physicians to secure probes in tissue to limit the risk of probe migration and improve safety. The Certus 140 probe portfolio is
comprised of CertusLK models that were designed to work optimally in liver or kidney tissue, maximizing the delivery of microwave
energy in these tissue types, CertusLN models that were designed to work optimally in lung tissue,
and the Certus SR designed for use in open surgical procedures offering a longer probe for
targeting deep tissue. To learn more about these products please visit

Based upon ex-vivo results, NeuWave Medical recommends
a maximum of 2cm spacing between probes. This results in a
contiguous ablation. Ablations spaced more than 2cm may have
non-contiguous results. Ablations spaced a minimum of 8cm
resulted in 3 independent ablations zones that did not overlap.
