Coblation technology has revolutionised the way we do ENT surgeries such as adenotonsillectomy and turbinoplasty. Coblation surgery means less collateral damage to surrounding tissue, less pain and quicker recovery for patients

Overvew

A minimally invasive, low thermal technology for effective dissection and removal of tissue, COBLATION technology is ideal for such ENT procedures as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, reduction of hypertrophic nasal trubinates, laryngeal polypectomy and lesiondebulking, soft palate, snoring and sinus surgery.

Over 10 million procedures have been successfully performed using our COBLATION Plasma Technology since the introduction of the first tonsillectomy Wands in 1998.

While most radiofrequency-based surgical products, such as lasers and electrosurgical devices, use imprecise heat-driven processes to remove or cut tissue, our COBLATION Plasma technology creates a controlled, stable plasma field to precisely remove tissue at a low relative temprature, resulting in minimal thermal damage to surrounding soft tissues.

Controlled, continuous plasma

By compining bipolar energy with continuous saline delivery, our COBLATION technology devices are able to create a stable plasma layer of only 100um-200um thick around the active electrode. This allows for the precise excision of tissue while minimizing the heat that is transferred to the patient and ensures a controlled amount of plasma throughtout the entire procedure.
