RF Ablation

Habib™ EndoHPB Bipolar Radiofrequency Catheter

The Habib™ EndoHPB Catheter is the first Radio Frequency (RF) ablation catheter indicated in Europe for malignant or benign tissue ablation in the pancreatic and biliary tract.

When surgery is not an option for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers, the Habib™ EndoHPB Catheter enables you to perform:
• Partial or complete ablation of malignant or benign tissue in the pancreatic and biliary tracts.
• Endoscopic biliary drainage or decompression prior to stent placement or afterwards to clear an occluded stent.

Endoscopic biliary RF ablation with the HabibTM EndoHPB Catheter may provide prolonged stent patency. One study has shown prolonged metallic biliary stent patency by an average of 13% (from 8.4 months to 9.5 months)¹ in patients with unresectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
