VIVA II Adjustable Monopolar RFA Electrode

One ablation electrode. Multiple solutions.

The future of radiofrequency ablation needle technology begins with the VIVA II. Our monopolar needle electrode configuration with an adjustable active tip is the first of its kind in the United States. Discover the features that set this next-generation tool apart.

The versatile RFA needle solution

The VIVA II monopolar electrode has been pioneered for versatility with its adjustable active tip  to achieve large central ablations as well as smaller, precise peripheral ablations. It includes six active tip lengths, with the ability to safely toggle mid-procedure for seamless application.

Next-gen radiofrequency ablation needle technology

The versatile VIVA II enables adjustable ablation, targeting multiple lesions of different sizes in one session  with one RFA electrode. More efficient treatment leads to increased patient satisfaction and more positive outcomes.

Clinically proven RFA electrode performance

Achieve next-level precision with our STARmed RF System that has been utilized in over 80% of clinical articles referencing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for thyroid nodules. We take pride in the high-quality clinical evidence gathered through global collaborative research initiatives.

The sharpest ablation electrode tips

STARmed dedicated years of research to sharpen up its ablation electrode tips. Experience smoother skin punctures and effortless lesion access with VIVA II’s latest sharp technology. Clinicians consistently complete treatment without the need for an incision, making it one of the least invasive monopolar needle electrodes on the market.

Cost-effective inventory

The VIVA II monopolar RFA needle electrode features 6 active tip lengths from 5mm to 30mm in 5 mm increments, eliminating the need to stock multiple electrode sizes.

Unparalleled handling experience


The lighter and smaller handle promotes a comfortable grip for better precision control. The upgraded tubing system simplifies organization and procedure management. We also collaborated with clinicians to develop the most stable pump system available. The result was a reduction in vibrations, enhancing physician control and ensuring the most precise treatment possible.
