Coblation TechnologyCoblation Technology
Coblation is not a heat-driven process; therefore Coblation is not a heat-driven process; therefore it does not char or burn healthy tissue like it does not char or burn healthy tissue like conventional electro surgery and laser surgery.conventional electro surgery and laser surgery.
Coblation is derived from the term “controlled Coblation is derived from the term “controlled ablation” It combines radiofrequency energy with ablation” It combines radiofrequency energy with a natural saline solution to gently and precisely a natural saline solution to gently and precisely remove tissue leading to a fast and easier remove tissue leading to a fast and easier recovery.recovery.

Coblation: a revolutionary medical technology developed and Coblation: a revolutionary medical technology developed and patented by ArthroCare Corporation .It enables surgeons to patented by ArthroCare Corporation .It enables surgeons to precisely dissect and ablate soft tissue while preserving the integrity precisely dissect and ablate soft tissue while preserving the integrity of surrounding healthy tissue.of surrounding healthy tissue.Coblation technology uses electrical energy to excite the Coblation technology uses electrical energy to excite the electrolytes in a conductive medium, such as saline, creating a electrolytes in a conductive medium, such as saline, creating a precisely focused plasma.precisely focused plasma.The energized plasma particles possess sufficient energy to break The energized plasma particles possess sufficient energy to break organic molecular bonds, resulting in tissue dissection and ablation.organic molecular bonds, resulting in tissue dissection and ablation.Because the RF current does not pass directly through the tissue, Because the RF current does not pass directly through the tissue, with Coblation, relatively low temperatures (40°C to 70°C) are with Coblation, relatively low temperatures (40°C to 70°C) are generated as a by product of the process.generated as a by product of the process.Coblation dissects or excises tissue while preserving the integrity of Coblation dissects or excises tissue while preserving the integrity of surrounding healthy tissue.surrounding healthy tissue.

Coblation technology is Coblation technology is based on a controlled, based on a controlled, non-heat driven non-heat driven process that uses process that uses radiofrequency (RF) radiofrequency (RF) energy to excite the energy to excite the electrolytes in a electrolytes in a conductive medium conductive medium such as saline solution such as saline solution to create precisely to create precisely focused plasmafocused plasma

Because RF current does not pass directly Because RF current does not pass directly through tissue during the Coblation through tissue during the Coblation process, tissue heating is minimal. Most of process, tissue heating is minimal. Most of the heat is consumed in the plasma layer, the heat is consumed in the plasma layer, or in other words, by the ionization or in other words, by the ionization process. These ions then bombard tissue process. These ions then bombard tissue in their path, causing molecular bonds to in their path, causing molecular bonds to simply break apart and tissue to dissolve.simply break apart and tissue to dissolve.

Surgical Treatment of Sleep ApneaSurgical Treatment of Sleep Apnea
The surgical treatment for sleep apnea is targeted to the upper airway structures The surgical treatment for sleep apnea is targeted to the upper airway structures responsible for causing obstruction during sleep. A detailed examination of the upper responsible for causing obstruction during sleep. A detailed examination of the upper airway, including fiber optic evaluation, CT/MRI Imaging, is performed to identify airway, including fiber optic evaluation, CT/MRI Imaging, is performed to identify nasal disorders, palate or uvular elongation, tonsil, adenoid or tongue enlargement, or nasal disorders, palate or uvular elongation, tonsil, adenoid or tongue enlargement, or tissue growths. tissue growths.
