ThermoBLOCK Thermal Coagulation Ablation Probe for Hemorrhoids & Anal Fistulas

ThermoBLOCK Thermal Coagulation Ablation Probe for Hemorrhoids & Anal Fistulas

A minimally invasive device designed to deliver precise thermal energy, effectively coagulating tissue to treat hemorrhoids and anal fistulas while minimizing discomfort and promoting rapid recovery.

Information

ThermoBLOCK is an advanced radiofrequency-based solution engineered for fast, safe, and effective treatment of hemorrhoids (HD) and anal fistulas. Utilizing 4 MHz radiofrequency to generate targeted thermal energy at the probe’s tip, ThermoBLOCK induces coagulative necrosis—offering a minimally invasive technique that can significantly alleviate patient symptoms with reduced procedural discomfort and faster recovery times compared to conventional surgical approaches.

Key Features and Technology

4 MHz Radiofrequency Generator
  • High-Frequency Energy: Produces rapid radio waves that heat tissue at the probe tip, delivering precise thermal ablation.
  • Controlled Coagulation: Limits excessive spread of heat, preserving surrounding healthy tissue and minimizing collateral injury.
  • Intracellular Vaporization: The intense heat causes intracellular water to boil, raising cell pressure until it ruptures from within—known as cellular volatilization.
  • Coagulative Necrosis: Targeted tissue necrosis leads to fibrotic changes or plication of the anorectal mucosa in hemorrhoids, diminishing prolapse and related symptoms.
  • Slim, Maneuverable Probe: Facilitates straightforward positioning in the anal canal, ensuring minimal discomfort and easy angle adjustments.
  • Reduced Postoperative Pain: With no significant cutting or stitching, ThermoBLOCK can enable a quicker return to daily activities.
  • Short Ablation Times: High-frequency radio waves rapidly create the desired necrotic effect, reducing total procedure length.
  • Outpatient Potential: Many treatments can be performed under local or regional anesthesia, lowering hospital resource usage.

Clinical Advantages & Indications

Hemorrhoid Management
  • Targeted Hyperthermia: Elevates local temperature in the bladder to potentiate chemotherapeutic effects, thereby improving tumor cell kill rates.
  • Increased Drug Penetration: Heated environment encourages deeper and more consistent uptake of anticancer agents.
  • Combination of Heat & Ionized Molecule Delivery: Creates a synergy that overcomes drug resistance and fosters thorough coverage of bladder lesions.
  • Reduced Systemic Toxicity: Local administration confines drug exposure mainly to the bladder region, potentially lowering systemic side effects.
  • Outpatient/Local Anesthesia: Many procedures can be performed on a short-stay basis, optimizing hospital resources and improving patient quality of life.
  • Reliable Monitoring & Control: Comprehensive alarm systems plus real-time temperature feedback maintain high standards of safety.
  • Automatic Safety Shutdown: Mitigates risk if unexpected temperature or pressure fluctuations occur.
  • Alarm Alerts: Minimizes operator error and ensures the procedure remains within the safe therapeutic window.
