Percutaneous radio-frequency ablation probes are minimally invasive tools used to treat solid tumours by delivering controlled heat through radio-frequency energy. They are inserted through the skin—often guided by imaging like CT, MRI, or ultrasound—to destroy abnormal tissue without surgery, commonly applied to organs like the liver.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical instruments, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They may also be designed for laparoscopic or open surgical use, depending on the clinical setting and intended procedure.
