nsPFA

Soft Tissue Nodule Ablation Procedure

Cell-Targeting Technology to Clear Unwanted Soft Tissue Nodules such as Benign Thyroid Nodules.

Benefits of the nsPFA™ Procedure

Cell-Targeting: Specifically targets only the cells of your benign soft tissue nodule, sparing nearby healthy tissue and nearby critical structures.
Quick and Efficient: Procedures typically last only minutes once started, and most patients can return to daily activities with little to no downtime.
nsPFA™
Minimal Discomfort: Minimally invasive procedure with less pain and discomfort compared to traditional methods such as surgery.
Minimally Invasive: nsPFA™ technology minimizes scarring and preserves the appearance of the procedure area with only small needle puncture through the skin.

How Does nsPFA™ Technology Work?

...

Nonthermal Nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation (nsPFA™) technology delivers nanosecond (billionth of a second) duration pulses of electrical energy

...

High speed nanosecond energy pulses penetrate the cell membrane and disrupt internal cellular function, stimulating natural cellular removal

...

Unlike thermal (heat/cold) modalities, nsPFA™ pulses directly effects cellular structures while preserving noncellular tissue including skin, vessels, and nerves

...

Targeted

nsPFA™ technology only affects cellular soft tissue, like nodules, increasing safety around other critical structures like nerves, vessels, and skin.

...

Fast

nsPFA™ procedures typically take only a few minutes, varying based on soft tissue nodule size

...

Natural Healing

nsPFA™ technology stimulates a rapid, natural process for clearing unwanted cellular tissue without the need for open surgery and without causing immediate necrosis caused by thermal ablation.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

  • 1. Consultation: You will meet with your doctor to discuss if the nsPFA™ procedure is right for you.
  • 2. Preparation: The area around your tumor will be prepared and local anesthesia may be administered to numb the area.
  • 3. Procedure: Using the nsPFA™ system, your doctor will apply nsPFA™ energy to the soft tissue nodule with a minimally invasive technique, guided by ultrasound, which usually takes only a few minutes.
  • 4. Post Procedure: You can go home immediately after the procedure and resume most activities.

After Your Procedure

After a nsPFA™ ablation procedure, most patients experience minimal side effects, such as temporary redness or swelling. These typically resolve quickly, enabling you to resume your daily activities without a lengthy or uncomfortable recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. The nsPFA™ ablation procedure is minimally invasive and does not involve surgical incisions, leading to a low risk of post-procedure pain or scarring. Local anesthesia will be used to reduce any discomfort to the procedure area.

The actual procedure with the nsPFA™ system can take as little as a few minutes. However, the total visit time may vary depending on the size and location of the soft tissue nodule. Your doctor will provide you with a more accurate timeline based on your speciöc condition.
