A groundbreaking non-water-cooled microwave ablation needle with a double-layer vacuum design significantly reduces carbonization while maintaining ablation efficacy. Experimental results reveal that a long-needle variant forms a carbonization-free solidification zone of 34 mm in 180 seconds, outperforming its short-needle counterpart, which takes 300 seconds for a 30 mm zone. This innovation ensures larger, spherical coagulation areas with effective thermal coagulation at lower power, optimizing clinical microwave ablation outcomes.
