CRYOABLATION
TECHNOLOGY Galil Medical Cryotherapy
Key Benefits of Galil
Medical Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy
is a minimally invasive, proven and widely-used
treatment option for prostate and renal cancer
patients.
Galil Medical continuously strives
to improve cryoablation procedure precision and
control. Innovative small diameter 17-gauge
cryoablation needles have proven to minimize
the risk of damage to adjacent tissue during cryosurgery
(freezing) procedures, while thermal sensors,
positioned in critical areas, provide real-time,
continuous temperature monitoring.
Physician Benefits
• Effective ablation treatment for a broad range of patient profiles including patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo surgery or radiation treatment
• Minimally invasive: uses ultra-thin 17 gauge Cryoablation needles no larger than biopsy needles
• Cryosurgical ablation shows clinical outcomes comparable to traditional therapies
• Cryoablation needles are easily inserted percutaneously and can be repositioned with ease during the minimally invasive surgery
• Temperature monitoring provides excellent procedure control
• Image guidance and monitoring of the entire procedure
• Cryosurgical treatment of large or multiple tumors in a single session
• Enables treatment close to susceptible organs
• Short procedure that is easy to learn and perform
Benefits for Patients
Galil Medical is committed to providing cryotherapy
solutions that enhance patient quality of life.
Patient experience with cryotherapy ablation shows
minimal to no pain and a rapid recovery. Because
cryosurgery is minimally invasive, patients are
back on their feet and back to their life quickly
• Minimally invasive
• Ice is a natural analgesic/pain reliever therefore there is minimal pain and discomfort
• Can be performed under local anesthesia
• No radiation or radioactive substances are left in the body
• Ultra-thin needles are inserted without the need for incisions, speeding up recovery and minimizing trauma
• Short hospital stay
• Low incidence of complications
• Quick recovery time: mobility the same day of the procedure and return to routine activities within a few days
• Excellent treatment option when previous treatments have failed
• Cryo treatment can be repeated if necessary
Continuous Innovation –
Benefit to All
Galil Medical routinely evaluates and improves
upon its product offering. In 2006, the Presice™
Cryoablation system was launched. This proprietary
technology platform was designed specifically
for urologists to treat prostate
cancer and renal
tumors in a minimally invasive procedure.
A major innovation is the IceVue™
Planning Software, which provides physicians
with a preoperative plan, customized for the patient,
to ensure accurate clinical outcomes.
