Specialized for the magnet room, the Visual ICE MRI Cryoablation System is the only ablation system that leverages the unique advantages of cryoablation zone visibility with the exquisite image resolution of MR.


Features and Benefits

The Visual ICE MRI offers a safe and efficient cryoablation procedure facilitating precise and effective treatment without the need for surgery or repeated radiation treatments

  • The Mobile Connection Panel (MCP) is placed within the MR room, allowing for easy access to both the patient and the needles during a procedure.
  • Sixteen needles may be simultaneously connected, allowing a range of cryoablation procedures.

Custom Designed for Each MRI Environment

  • Each system design accommodates customer and site requirements.
  • Integrated into MR rooms with minimal installation and minimal downtime.

Consolidated Lines Facilitate Connections

  • The Junction Box Harness organizes gas, fiber optic, and electrical lines into a single cable.
  • Connectors are easily aligned and securely clicked into place.



MRI Cryoablation Needles

Used with the Visual ICE MRI Cryoablation System, our MRI needles leverage the unique advantages of cryoablation zone visibility with the exquisite image resolution of MR.

Classic MRI Needles: IceRod™ MRI and IceSeed™ MRI

  • Straight or angled 90° needle configurations in a choice of lengths and diameters.
  • Three-facet sharp needle tip of easy percutaneous insertion and control.
  • Accurate shaft distance markers to optimize needle placement.
  • Lightweight handles to minimize torque on inserted needles, with color-coding for ease of identification.
  • Unibody closed-tube design which minimizes risk of gas leakage vs welded tip designs.

 

Safety informations

WARNINGS

A thorough understanding of the technical principles, clinical applications, and risk associated with cryoablation procedures is necessary before using this product. Use of this device is restricted to use by or under the supervision of physicians trained in cryoablation procedures with a Galil Medical Cryoablation System CAUTION: All new users must be trained on the use of the Visual ICE MRI Cryoablation System and cryoablation procedures prior to operating the system. Contact your local Galil Medical representative to schedule training. CAUTION: Carefully read all instructions prior to use. Failure to observe all warnings and precautions may result in complications.

INDICATIONS

The Galil Medical VisualcICE MRI Cryoablation System is intended for cryoablative destruction of tissue during minimally invasive procedures; various Galil Medical accessory products are required to perform these procedures. The Visual ICE MRI Cryoablation System is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery (with the exception of cardiac tissue), ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. This system is designed to destroy tissue (including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, and skin lesions) by the application of extremely cold temperatures.
