Histotripsy is a novel, non-invasive, sonic beam therapy that uses the mechanical forces created by focused ultrasound waves. Histotripsy’s unique mechanism of action results in cellular and sub- cellular destruction that occurs only within the bubble cloud, enabling highly precise treatments and avoiding damage to non-targeted tissue. View this video to understand more about the novel capabilities of HistoSonics Edison system in delivering precision histotripsy to targeted liver tissue.
Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The Edison® System is intended for the non-invasive mechanical destruction of liver tumors, including the partial or complete destruction of unresectable liver tumors via histotripsy. The FDA has not evaluated the Edison System for the treatment of any disease including, but not limited to, cancer or evaluated any specific cancer outcomes (such as local tumor progression, 5-year survival or overall survival). The System should only be used by persons who have completed training performed by HistoSonics, and its use guided by the clinical judgment of an appropriately trained physician. Refer to the device Instructions for Use for a complete list of warnings, precautions and a summary of clinical trial results, including reported adverse events.
