RF ablation using the RITA System offers numerous benefits for patients, including the following:

Flexible Application
An RF procedure using the RITA System can be performed percutaneously, laparoscopically, or in an open surgical procedure.

Rapid Tissue Response
While other medical procedures require weeks or months to demonstrate an effect, RITA® has a marked tissue response upon delivery of the radiofrequency energy.

Single Session
Destruction by the RITA System of individual or multiple areas of tissue of varying sizes are well tolerated and can usually be performed in a single session.

Low Morbidity and Negligible Complications
Most other approaches are reported to cause complications which may include leukopenia, anemia, hemorrhage due to organ fracture, patient intoxication, and other problems. RITA’s RF procedure does not require the use of toxic chemicals, alcohol, or excessive cold so complications are minimal.

Time and Cost Efficient
The RF procedure can result in reduced hospital stays and costs less than many traditional treatment methods.
