58 devices · GMDN 45140
This category includes sterile, single-use instrument sets designed for cryosurgical procedures, where targeted tissue is frozen to destroy abnormal cells. These sets typically contain cryoablation needles, thermal sensors, warming catheters, and tube holders used alongside a cryosurgical unit. They are commonly applied in early-stage prostate cancer or localized recurrences after radiotherapy, with tissue cooled to approximately -40°C while surrounding areas are warmed to prevent collateral damage.
These devices are supplied as pre-sterilized, disposable kits and are intended for single patient use only. Regulatory classification varies by jurisdiction and is determined per device based on its intended use, risk profile, and regional requirements. As part of a broader cryosurgical system, these sets function as the disposable interface between the energy source and the patient.
