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
