New Device For Liver Cancer Cleared
Acculis Limited, the UK based specialist microwave ablation company based in Denmead, England, announced the clearance of its latest device for coagulating and killing unwanted tissue during surgery. The device, designed for coagulations at the surface of the tissue fires controlled high power microwave energy into the target area causing it to heat rapidly and the cells to die. Liver surgeons around the world are using the Acculis MTA System to address tumours inside the liver using its existing needle probes that take the microwave energy to the centre of tumours. Using the same control unit, this latest device allows surgeons to address deposits on the surface of the liver without using a needle. David Lloyd, consultant surgeon from Leicester Royal Infirmary, worked with Professor Nigel Cronin on the device which was also used by consultant HPB surgeons Graeme Poston, Liverpool Aintree and David Sherlock, North Manchester General during the development phase under MHRA control.

These viruses are usually spread by droplets through the respiratory route or by direct contact. It is very important, however that Canadian Blood Services is able to maintain the blood supply for patients who require transfusion.
