About STARmed

History

History

Incorporated in May 2011, STARmed has grown from 5 employees to more than 100 today, and floor space more than 30 times bigger.

This fast-growing success is attributed to our close affiliation with key Opinion Leaders in the field of Radiofrequency Ablation, and our passion in successful Patients’ Treatment. With their contributions of innovative ideas, our Engineers transformed them into dependable and effective Medical Devices, and we have earned ourselves no less than 10 Patents.

Originally focusing on Liver RF Ablation, we have gone a step further to develop the right electrodes and algorithm for Thyroid RF Ablation. In the short 8 years period, we have established ourselves to the Global Leadership in Thyroid RFA, and no less than 70% of Clinical Studies on Thyroid RFA are done with STARmed devices, with extremely promising Clinical Results and low Complication Rate.

STARmed is a family gathering of talented individuals passionately believing and innovating on the long proven Radiofrequency Technology for the past 10 years. We now have 4 different Generator Systems and more than 10 Electrode types in the market to serve different treatment needs.
