and heats it with microwaves until the tumor cells are destroyed." The
authors explained that Dr. Carlisle was the first MicroThermX® specialist
in Utah and is one of Utah's leading providers of groundbreaking
treatments that improve care and make recovery easier for cancer
patients. The authors noted that Dr. Carlisle uses the MicroThermX® as

About the MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation
System
The MicroThermX® is a compact, mobile, state-of-the-art,
proprietary system that includes a microwave generator,
single-patient-use disposable antennas, and a thermistor-based
temperature monitoring system. The innovative design is the first of its
kind that allows delivery of higher power levels using a single
generator. The MicroThermX® utilizes innovative synchronous
phased array technology that was developed and patented by BSD to
provide larger and more uniform zones of ablation during a single
procedure. The MicroThermX® introduces into the Company’s
product line an innovative, high-end disposable that is used in each
ablation treatment, and will provide a significant ongoing revenue
stream. The soft tissue ablation world market potential is estimated to
exceed $2.3 billion. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
granted the Company a 510(k) clearance to market the MicroThermX® for
ablation of soft tissue. BSD has also received CE Marking for the
MicroThermX® System.
