Monopolar and bipolar electrode compatibility
Monopolar & bipolar
The many different 1-channel STARmed electrodes are all compatible with the 1-channel VIVA RF System. Both bipolar and monopolar ablations are possible. The monopolar technology requires the current to be fed back via neutral electrodes, which are included with the electrodes. The various electrodes are available with diameters between 15G and 19G and shaft lengths between 7 cm and 30 cm. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications.
The VIVA RF System is compatible with both monopolar and bipolar STARmed electrodes. These are characterised by their exceptionally sharp electrode tip.
