Direct Ablate Renal Denervation System
Through comprehensive thermal simulation and laboratory testing, Symple Surgical has optimized the DirectAblate Renal Denervation SystemTM to deliver therapeutic microwave energy to the site of the Sympathetic Nerves. Figure 1 shows Computer Generated Thermal Simulation data of the DirectAblate Renal Denervation SystemTM. Figure 2 is histological sample of an in vivo study performed with the DirectAblate Renal Denervation SystemTM. The treatment zone is nearly identical in size and shape to the computer based modeling as identified with NBT viability staining (blue/purple coloring is preserved tissue; translucent/white is treated tissue; rings are 1mm spacing).
Directed Renal Denervation (dRDN)
The Symple Surgical microwave device is demonstrated within a protein albumin gel highlighting the “doughnut-shape” circumferential ablation zone created. While penetrating 6mm deep in to the protein gel, the test demonstrates the thermal protection of the vessel wall and the 1mm ring of the medial layer. Past the 6mm ablation zone there is a substantial drop-off in temperature, thereby limiting damage to the non-target perivascular structures.
