Business Summary
Rita Medical Systems, Inc. is a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets minimally invasive products to treat patients with solid cancerous or benign tumors. The Company's proprietary system uses radiofrequency energy to heat tissue to a high enough temperature to ablate it, or cause cell death. The RITA system includes radiofrequency generators and a family of disposable needle electrode devices that deliver controlled thermal energy to the targeted tissue. All of the Company's generators employ an internal computer to assist the physician in safely and effectively controlling the delivery of radiofrequency during the ablation. The Company's disposable devices all consist of needle-shaped electrodes containing curved wire arrays that are deployed into the targeted body tissue.
