TATO

Thermal Ablation Treatments for Oncology

Description

TATO (Thermal Ablation Treatments for Oncology) is a 2.450 Mhz Microwave ablation system that allows you to enhance the visibility and control on your ablation procedures, using up to 4 antennas simultaneously. 

TATO gives you good control during ablation procedures due to the possibility to see the ablation progression under Ultrasound Guidance and perform immediately after a low artifact post-ablation CT follow-up with the antenna still in place. A broad range of detachable antennas (from 11G to 18G) are offered allowing to choose the best suitable Gauge for each procedure and organ: liver, lung, kidney, thyroid. 

An 18 Gauge antenna with a length of 8cm has specifically been designed to optimize thyroid ablation procedures. TATO 18G thyroid antenna allows to perform a multiple overlapping technique, compared to the Moving Shot Technique used with radiofrequency, performing larger ablations, reducing the number of insertions and the time of the procedure.

Characteristics

  • ​Fluid Injections

    ​TATOpro applicator allows injecting fluids into the tissue.

  • ​Size

    ​TATOpro applicators are available in 11, 14, 17 and 18G

  • ​Detachable

    ​The low loss MW cable can be detached from the applicator to allow an easy positioning and facilitate CT operations

  • Multiprobe

    One single interface to control from 1 to 4 probes simultaneously and independently, with a maximum combined power of 120 watts.

  • ​Dedicated thyroid antenna

    TATO thyroid antenna (18G x 8cm) is designed with a robust metal tip to target also calcified lesions, coated with Teflon to ensure a smooth penetration and positioning.

Visibility

Immediate follow up under CT with lower artifacts. The use of lower wattage minimizes the formation of “gas bubbles” and enhances visibility of the ablation progression under US guidance, giving good control to the operator when treating challenging lesions, reducing the risk of potential damages to surrounding structures. ​

Efficiency

TATO and TATOpro applicators are designed to minimize energy losses. The VLLTM (Very Low Loss) technology allows the applicators to operate, in absence of a cooling system, without causing skin burns.

Versatility

TATOpro applicators come in various sizes, ranging from 11G to 18G and in different lengths (8,10,15,20,25 cm). The detachable cable allows an easy handling and positioning of the probe even under CT. Up to 4 probes can be connected simultaneously, setting power independently for each antenna to treat different lesions at the same time as well as large multifocal tumors.

Safety

TATO has an automatic real-time safety control loop that stops the emission of MW in case a state of malfunctioning of the applicator is detected. Reflected Power for each antenna is monitored and visible on the display.
