Arthrocare, the
market leader in
radiofrequency (RF)
technology, presents
the Atlas system-the
next generation in
safe ,effective
bipolar RF
treatment.
The Atlas
platform enhances
bipolar Coblation
technology and
maximizes
performance in
arthroscopic
procedures.
The innovative
design of the Atlas
Controller offers
numerous benefits
over traditional RF
systems:
-
Superior
tissue excision,
speed, and
efficiency
-
Minimal
tissue
temperatures,
preserving the
integrity of
surrounding
healthy tissue
-
Recognition
feature
automatically
selects optimal
set points for
each wand
-
No complex
software or
system up-grade
packages
-
Dual
connector port
allows support
of both previous
and new
generation Wand
-
Existing
Wands can be
used with no
need for
retraining
-
All reusable
cables and
integrated
cables (ICW) are
compatible
-
Indicator
lights on the
top front allow
for quick and
easy
visualization of
all connections
during
procedures
The ArthroCare Atlas
System:
Atlas System enables
enhanced tissue
ablation, speed and
efficiency and
automatically
selects the setting
for each Arthro
Wand.
The Arthrowand
Collection
SUCTION
Suction Wands
combine enhanced
visibility with
controlled excision
for rapid removal of
all types of soft
tissue.In addition
to removing bubbles
from the field of
view, powerful
suction draws
free-floating, wispy
tissue to the
electrodes, so you
can focus on
technique - instead
of chasing evasive
tissue.
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
Paragon TM
T2 TM
is based on 6
years of research o
the application of
bipolar
radiofrequency
energy on articular
cartilage. The novel
circular electrode
design provides
multidirectional
excision and keeps
operating
temperatures below
50
° C. T2, or
Temperature
Technology,
facilitates optimal
performance by
providing a
real-time visual
indicator when the
temperature exceeds
the recommended 50
° C.
RIGHT ANGLE
These 90
° C angle,
non-suction Wands
provide the rapid
tissue removal that
is ideal foe general
arthroscopic soft
tissue removal. From
the 3.5 mm 90
° C to the
eliminator TM
these wands
are designed for
your everyday
arthroscopic needs.
LIGAMENT/TENDON
COAGULATION
The CAPS ®
family of
Wands offers the
versatility and
control that address
a wide range of
treatment needs. The
CAPSure and CAPSure
30 with patented
PORT
TM
technology provide
controlled
penetration and even
dispersal of energy.
The micro
CAPS ®
Wand provides this
same technology for
surgery in wrists,
ankles, and elbows.
CUTTING
The saber
TM
Wands use a single,
hooked electrode to
cut and coagulate
all types of soft
tissue. The entire
surface of this
hooked electrode is
available for
excision and
coagulation,
therefore enhancing
performance at any
access angle.
SMALL JOINT
The small joint
Wands are specially
designed for
arthroscopic
applications in the
wrist, ankle, and
elbow. For optimal
control and
maneuverability,
these Wands feature
a smaller diameter
and shorter shaft
than standard Wands.
For ideal soft
tissue removal, the
Microblator
TM
offers a slim-line
design for easy
access.
In addition, for
great tissue
contact, select the
2.3 mm Short Bevel.
HIP
The MultiVac
TM XL and
TurboVac
® offer
the length necessary
for ablation in the
hip. These Wands use
multiple electrodes
for aggressive
ablation, and
suction for superior
visualization. The
hip Wands provide
rapid removal of
synovial tissue,
precise sculpting of
ace tabular labral
tissue, and precise
chondroplasty.
TOPAZ MICRODEBRIDER
Designed for an
open procedure . The
Microdebrider
provides a quick
outpatient
procedure, with
rapid patient
recovery and return
to activity. The 0.8
mm tip of the
Microdebrider is
versatile and small
enough to treat the
areas where it is
needed.
TOPAZ XL
Designed for
arthroscopic
procedures of the
shoulder . The 15°
angle at the
tip allows for tight
access.
ARTHROCARE TIMER
Recommended for
use with both TOPAZ
Microdebrider and
TOPAZ XL, the Timer
provides a
predetermined 0.5
second of therapy.
The Timer is
designed to work
with both the
ArthroCare System
2000 and the Atlas
system.
ENT
Coblation II
The Arthocare
®
ENT Coblator II
surgery system
brings a new level
of control and
functionality to
otolaryngology.
Using patented
Coblation
technology, the
Arthrocare ENT
system removes
tissue via molecular
disintegration. For
tissue coagulation,
the new adjustable
coagulation with its
bipolar delivery of
thermal energy
provides localized
therapy quickly and
effectively.
COBLATOR
® II FAMILY OF
PLASMA
WANDS TM
:
Suction Wands
simultaneously
dissect, ablate and
remove tissue. The
central suction
channel removes
debris and blood for
a clear surgical
view. The EVac
TM 70 provides
built-in suction and
saline delivery.
APPLICATIONS:
Channeling Wands
combine controlled
tissue removal and
effective
coagulative lesion
formation. For
submucosal tissue
shrinkage in oral
cavity, or to treat
snoring, choose the
ReFlex Ultra
TM 55.
