The VIVA RF Systems can be equipped with a wide range of accessories. It is important to select the right radiofrequency electrode for each application. The sharpness of the electrodes enables precise handling during application. Over 90 clinical references have been published with STARmed electrodes. These confirm the success of radiofrequency ablation.
The RFA electrodes from STARmed are precise and characterised by their exceptional sharpness and internal cooling. They are available in monopolar and bipolar versions. Thanks to their design, these highly specialised instruments for RFA enable targeted tissue destruction during minimally invasive interventions. They are a reliable choice for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules, uterine fibroids or small liver tumours.
Yes, all STARmed electrodes in all sizes are internally cooled right up to the tip. The cooling circuit is driven by a peristaltic pump.
Yes, two dispersion electrodes are included with each monopolar electrode.
The size of the ablation zone depends on the length of the active tip and the power setting on the generator. For each length of the active tip, there are predefined power specifications.
