StarBurst XL Promotional Literature

Product catalog summary

Overview: The StarBurst® XL RFA Electrode is a medical device designed for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures. It features a real-time, multi-point temperature feedback system to maintain target temperatures, ensuring effective tissue ablation with low recurrence rates. The device is suitable for percutaneous, laparoscopic, and intraoperative procedures.

Device Variants:

StarBurst® XL RFA Device: Offers needle track ablation, adjustable array size, and temperature-based technology for reliable coagulative necrosis.
StarBurst® XL Semi-Flex RFA Device: Combines rigid and flexible trocar sections, allowing up to 90-degree bending for easy access in MRI and CT systems. It supports spherical ablation sizes up to 5 cm in diameter.

Specifications:

Nine arrays plus active trocar tip.
Five thermocouples for temperature feedback.
Compatible with CT and MRI gantries.
Available in various lengths and configurations, including options with pre-attached cables.

Benefits:

Scalable, spherical ablations (3-5 cm).
Predictable and repeatable ablations.
Minimally invasive with a slim handle design.
Beveled surgical tip for easier penetration of hard tumors.

Indications and Usage: The device is indicated for coagulation and ablation of soft tissue, including non-resectable liver lesions and palliation of pain from metastatic bone lesions. It is intended for use with the RITA® 1500 or 1500X RF Generator.

Warnings and Precautions:

Single-use only; do not bend or kink the trocar or needles.
Ensure device placement at least 1 cm away from non-target structures.
Follow manufacturer guidelines for ablation time and temperature.
Potential complications include bleeding, abscesses, fractures, and nerve damage.

Important Risk Information: Detailed instructions, contraindications, and warnings are provided with each device. Proper adherence to these instructions is crucial to minimize patient complications.
