The VivAer® Stylus is a disposable handheld device capable of delivering bipolar radiofrequency energy to tissue. The VivAer® Stylus consists of a handle, shaft and treatment tip. An array of bipolar electrodes is positioned on a nonconductive tip which is attached to a handle via a nonconductive shaft. A temperature sensor is located on the tip to monitor tissue temperature. The Stylus is attached to a Temperature controlled radiofrequency generator (Aerin Console) via a flexible cable.
An assembly of devices intended to generate, and apply radio-frequency (RF) alternating current to soft tissues for cutting and coagulation during an endoscopic or open surgical procedure; it is not dedicated to focal ablation of specific tissues (i.e., not a radio-frequency ablation system). The assembly includes a mains electricity-powered (AC-powered) RF generator with monitoring functions/controls, connection cables, a handpiece, and electrodes to apply the energy to the surgical site. Tissue resistance to the electrical current creates the heat as the current travels through the body between electrodes; it is not intended for argon-enhanced electrosurgery.
