NanoTherm® Therapy System (NTTS)

Gentle, focal treatment of recurrent glioblastoma

Products

NTTS is a combination of medical devices used for the local treatment of solid brain tumors (recurrent glioblastoma). The administration of NTTS is subject to the discretion of the treating physician.

NanoTherm

NanoTherm® AS1

The magnetic ferrofluid

  • Nanoparticles contain a magnetite core which convert energy from an alternating magnetic field into heat
  • Nanoparticles agglomerate inside target tissue due to their amino silicone shell
  • Nanoparticles form a permanent implant precisely heating the target area in the magnetic field

NanoPlan

NanoPlan®

Planning for optimal results

  • The software simulates the possible temperature distributions in the target treatment area
  • Physicians use the software to decide on treatment parameters
  • Physicians fuse together different imaging modalities (CT, MRI, PET) to best identify the target treatment area

NanoActivator

NanoActivator®

The magnetic field generator

  • The magnetic field stimulates the magnetic fluid deposits implanted in the target (tumor) area to heat up
  • The heat leads to local hyperthermia or local thermal ablation in the tissue
  • The device generates an alternating magnetic field that changes polarity up to 100,000 times per second
