Radio-frequency ablation systems deliver controlled heat to targeted tissues using radio-frequency energy, primarily for destroying abnormal growths like tumors or precancerous cells, or for nerve ablation. Clinically, these devices are used in procedures such as liver ablation, uterine fibroid treatment, or pain management by disrupting nerve pathways without cutting tissue.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices and may require approval or clearance depending on the jurisdiction. They are often supplied as integrated kits, including generators, probes, and accessories, and are designed for single-use or reusable components as specified by the manufacturer.
