Theromics develops biocompatible nanopolymer gels, HeatSYNC™ and CryoSYNC, that enhance thermal energy transfer during soft tissue ablation procedures, resulting in larger and more precise ablation zones. This technology addresses the high recurrence rates in soft tissue ablation by improving targeting accuracy and reducing systemic side effects when combined with existing drug therapies.

Problem
Soft tissue ablation procedures often face challenges with recurrence due to inaccurate targeting, heat sinks caused by blood flow, and non-spherical ablation zones. These issues can lead to incomplete treatment and the need for re-intervention.
Solution
Theromics is developing HeatSYNC™ and CryoSYNC, biocompatible nanopolymer gels designed to enhance thermal energy transfer during soft tissue ablation. These gels mitigate heat loss, improve thermal penetration, and facilitate more accurate targeting of tumors. By optimizing the shape and size of the ablation zone, Theromics' technology aims to reduce recurrence rates associated with soft tissue ablation. The gels can also be combined with existing drug therapies for localized treatment, potentially reducing systemic side effects through Thermally Activated Combination Therapy (TACT).
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes medical professionals performing soft tissue ablation procedures, such as interventional radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists.
