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
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.

Indications for Use: The nsPFA™™ Percutaneous Electrode System is indicated for ablation of soft tissue in percutaneous, and intraoperative surgical procedures. The nsPFA™ Percutaneous Electrode System (Percutaneous Electrode) is not indicated for use in cardiac procedures. The nsPFA™ Percutaneous Electrode System is FDA Cleared for use in the United States only.
