Since May 2011, Appleton has been BSD’s distributor of the MicroThermX product line and now purchases BSD’s SynchroWave disposable antennas.

The MicroThermX system comprises a microwave generator, single-patient-use disposable antennas and a thermistor-based temperature monitoring system.

By utilizing synchronous phased array technology, the ablation product provides larger and more uniform zones of ablation during a single procedure.

The CE-marked MicroThermX system has also received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in ablation of soft tissue.
