Single cryoprobe, intuitive user interface and relocation options

The ProSense single cryoprobe system is as effective at creating a large lethal zone as three cryoprobes from an argon based multiprobe system.

Choose Superior Cooling with Liquid Nitrogen Cryoablation   

Powered by liquid nitrogen, the coldest cryogen which boils at -196°C*, the ProSense Cryoablation System successfully addresses the three core principles required for an effective and efficient cryoablation:
  • Rapid temperature drop can reach below -160°C ± 10°C to create large lethal zones
  • Temperatures stay consistently stable and low to enable effective freeze cycles
  • Slow passive thaw between freezing cycles creates a large ice ball allowing for target tissue engulfment with adequate margins.

Testimonials

“I have been using the ProSense Cryoablation System for all my cryoablation procedures for the past year. I have plenty of experience using the typical argon-based systems – and IceCure offers several advantages over those systems. First, the rate of freeze is much faster. We know from studies this is important to enhance the anti-cancer immune response from cryoablation. Second, the cost per procedure is less, not only because you can achieve larger ablation zones with a single needle, but also because liquid nitrogen is less expensive than gases needed for the other systems.”

Choose Ease of Use and Safety

As liquid nitrogen can be conveniently stored in low-pressure Dewars, the ProSense Cryoablation System requires no gas lines, no onsite technicians or specific safety rooms required to store large and hazardous high-pressure cylinder tanks required for argon-based cryoablation devices.  Liquid nitrogen is also highly available and affordable with no country-specific supply restrictions or cost risk associated with argon gas.

Cryoablation with the Prosense system

Step 1

The cryoprobe is inserted into the tumor at a small incision site

system_step-2

Step 2

The tumor is surrounded by an ice ball. The extreme cold kills the tumor tissue

system_step-3

Step 3

The cryoprobe is removed and a Steri-Strip is applied, requiring no stitches.
