Endo-luminal RFA Electrode Ideal for Biliary Duct Obstruction Treatment
The ELRATM Endoluminal RFA electrode is an innovative bipolar electrode catheter. It has been designed to deliver safe and effective radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The ELRATM electrode is ideal for the treatment of biliary duct obstructions and malignant biliary strictures. With its bipolar electrode configuration, the ELRATM RFA catheter offers precise energy delivery and optimal patient outcomes.
ELRATM is a bipolar RF electrode that enables RF energy delivery between two closely spaced electrodes. This configuration allows for targeted ablation of tissue within the biliary ducts, reducing thermal injury to surrounding structures. The electrode is often used in combination with an endoscopic biliary stent. The goal is to restore duct patency and ensure proper bile drainage.
Percutaneous approach
When paired with the VIVA combo RF Generator, ELRA TM confirms the completion of an endoluminal ablation. Further, it prevents the over-application of energy via real-time impedance monitoring.
The VIVA combo RF Generator’s unique Temperature Sensing System enables ELRA to detect temperatures. It will automatically shut off upon achieving successful ablation or in case of inadequate contact.
The ELRA TM electrode features a range of ablative lengths, including 11mm, 18mm, 22mm, and 33mm. This caters to diverse anatomies and stricture locations. Furthermore, it ensures versatile treatment options for various indications.
With a 7FR catheter and conical tip, ELRA enables seamless navigation through narrow ducts. You’ll achieve easy navigation in even the most complex anatomies.
A bipolar electrode delivers energy between two poles on the same catheter tip. This offers more precise ablation in small, delicate structures like the biliary ducts.
RFA helps ablate malignant tissue within the bile ducts, which can restore ductal patency before placing a stent.
Intended Use
The VIVA combo RF System is intended for use in percutaneous and intraoperative coagulation and ablation of tissue.
Star/VIVA RF Electrode is intended for use in percutaneous and intraoperative coagulation and ablation of tissue.
The ELRA Electrode is a radiofrequency (RF) catheter which provides bipolar energy to perform partial or complete ablation of tissue in the pancreatic and biliary tracts.
