Percutaneous radio-frequency ablation probes (bipolar) are minimally invasive tools used to treat solid tumours by delivering controlled radio-frequency energy. They are inserted through the skin—often guided by imaging like CT, MRI, or ultrasound—to heat and destroy abnormal tissue, typically in organs like the liver, without major surgery.
These devices are generally single-use and regulated as surgical instruments, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They may also include accessories like cannulas or temperature sensors, and some are designed for use in laparoscopic or open procedures alongside percutaneous approaches.
