Description

Indication

  • Pancreatic tumor (locally advanced pancreatic cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, pancreatic cysts, etc)
  • Extra pancreatic tumor (liver, adrenal, kidney, GI gyst, etc)

Features

  • Feasible and safe ablative treatment for locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and cystic neoplasms
  • An easy approach to the target lesion with a great pushability of the needle
  • Good echogenicity for safe procedure under EUS-guidance
  • Inner cooling system making it possible to ablate large volumes of tumor without tissue charring
  • The electrode is a monopolar system and needs ground pads
  • Optimal RFA needle operating with VIVA Combo™ generators only
