Synapse Medical, a subsidiary of SISK Healthcare, has purchased BSD Medical's MicroThermX microwave ablation system.

The MicroThermX microwave is a mobile system that includes a microwave generator, single-patient-use disposable antennas and a thermistor-based temperature monitoring system.

The MicroThermX system, using synchronous phased array technology, delivers microwave energy for coagulation of soft tissue.

Synapse Medical distributes medical devices of many companies, including BSD, in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

BSD Medical said it has received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CE mark approval for MicroThermX for ablation of soft tissue.
