About ArthroCare
ArthroCare’s mission is to design surgical instruments that will improve patient outcomes by using our internationally patented Coblation® technology. This technology precisely dissolves target tissue and limits damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Coblation significantly improves many existing surgical procedures and enables new minimally invasive procedures.We have created a multi-business medical device
company around this platform technology — developing, manufacturing and marketing products for a variety of soft tissue surgical applications. ArthroCare is leveraging Coblation technology to capitalize on a multi-billion dollar market opportunity across several surgical specialties, including arthroscopy; spine and neurology; ear, nose and throat; cosmetic; urology; gynecology; and laparoscopy/general surgery.
