In order to increase the area of tissue coagulation in liver cancer, we developed a treatment called multi-channel microwave coagulation therapy (MMCT) using numerous Teflon-coated electrodes. However, during MMCT we found that it was extremely difficult to fix spacers on numerous electrodes both correctly and firmly. To overcome this we developed new spacers that were able to be fixed on the electrodes properly.
