DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPLEX OF DEVICES FOR MICROWAVE ABLATION OF TUMORS

Problem and implemented solution

Problem: The lack of minimally/minimally invasive methods for solving surgical problems. The absence of Russian-made microwave ablation devices. Solution: The device for microwave ablation of tumors - "Lance MWA" contains an emitter connected to a microwave generator, made in the form of a piece of coaxial line, including external and internal conductors isolated from each other, with the internal conductor protruding outward relative to the external one. The emitter is installed with a gap in a radio-transparent catheter, and its working part is covered with a dielectric layer with a thickness equal to the thickness of the outer conductor of the coaxial line. Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive method of treating malignant and benign tumors. The procedure is most often used for liver cancer, but can be used for tumors of bones, lungs, kidneys, pancreas and other organs. An antenna is inserted into the tumor, which emits electromagnetic energy. It is transmitted from the generator via a coaxial waveguide and delivered directly to the tissues, ensuring the locality of their heating. 2. The radiated energy causes the water molecules to heat up. Water molecules transfer energy to the surrounding tissue and when a sufficiently high temperature is reached, its destruction occurs. 4. It is important to note that microwave energy directionally affects the area that contains tumor tissue, so healthy tissues and vital structures outside a given area are not subjected to excessive thermal damage.

Description of competitive advantages

A. Improving treatment outcomes and quality of life of patients B. Accurate diagnosis, planning and implementation of treatment C. Reducing the risks of injury and complications for the patient D. Matching the evolution of cancer therapy E. The possibility of optimal treatment for each patient F. Lower surgical stress G. Significantly higher recovery rate of the patient after the intervention H. A better immune response to complex therapy due to a reduction in injuries I. Reduction of the period of immobilization of patients. Improving the throughput and efficiency of clinics Lance MWA has the following key characteristics: A. Minimal invasiveness. Percutaneously, with a direct puncture into the area of interest, with a diameter of 1.3 mm B. It can be used to destroy tumors up to 8 cm in diameter. C. The formation of the necrosis zone takes a minimum of time – from 2 minutes D. Adjustable heating of tissues up to 150 degrees E. Microwaves penetrate into any body tissue, including through dehydrated and charred areas F. Independent effect of heat dissipation, evaporation of tissues, their electrical conductivity G. Destruction of tumors located at a distance of 3 mm from large vessels H. Destruction of tumors in tissues with high impedance (lungs, bones) I. Simultaneous and uniform heating of the selected volume
