COBLATION◊ Technology for Turbinate Reduction
Shown to allow immediate tissue removal*1 and continued postoperative contraction2,3
Shown to allow immediate tissue removal*1 and continued postoperative contraction2,3
Designed to allow minimally invasive hypertrophic turbinate procedures to be performed efficiently in the operating room or outpatient clinic settings.2
COBLATION Technology involves the creation and application of a high-energy field called 'glow discharge plasma'. This plasma ablates tissue through a chemical process as highly energised particles in the plasma break down molecules in the tissue.
*As demonstrated in benchtop testing.
**Compared to the REFLEX ULTRA◊ PTR Turbinate Reduction Wand.
