Like Avcoat, SLA (for "super-lightweight
ablator") is based on a honeycomb structure filled with gobs of ablative resin.
Medical device company Bovie Medical (NYSE MKT:BVX) reported on Thursday the launch of a global sales channel partnership agreement with CONMED (CNMD) for its PlazXact
Ablator in orthopedic surgery procedures.
The ablation devices segments are further sub segmented based on product types as follows - electrical (electrosurgical
ablator devices and electrical brachytherapy devices), radiation (brachytherapy, stereotactic radio surgery devices, stereotactic body radiotherapy devices, image guided radiotherapy (IGRT), image modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), nano radiation therapy, proton beam therapy), radiofrequency (temperature controlled devices, fluid cooled, catheter manipulation systems), light (cold lasers, excimer lasers, photonic ablation devices, ultraviolet lasers and others), cryotherapy (cardiac cryoablation devices and cryospray ablation systems), microwave (coretherm thermotherapy devices and prolieve thermotherapy devices).
phenolic impregnated carbon
ablator) that can protect the spacecraft as it reenters space.
Current non-resectoscopic technologies include bipolar radiofrequency (Novasure), hot liquid filled balloon (Therma Choice), cryotherapy (Her Option), circulating hot water (Hydro Therm
Ablator), and microwave (Microwave Endometrial Ablation).
A protective solid layer is developed due to the char--reinforcement reactions during ablation that helps to reduce thermal/mechanical erosion of the
