Argon plasma coagulation
The use of argon gas in electrosurgery has been standard practice for many years. Initially used in liver surgery, argon assistance for cutting and coagulation has now become established in many fields of electrosurgery.
Argon assistance permits fast and contact-free coagulation of larger areas, e. g. of parenchymal structures such as occur in the liver, as well as very directed, accurately-dosed point coagulation on thin structures, such as occur in the intestine.
Homogeneous coagulation, soft and flexible necrosis and very low penetration are further advantages of this procedure. Displacement of oxygen by the argon prevents smoke formation and associated odors and visibility impairment.
A special aspect of argon assistance is that it allows simple and efficient coagulation of regions which are difficult even for electrosurgery, such as fatty or bony structures. In this way, argon assistance is useful for almost all fields of electrosurgery.
With their unique ceramic nozzles, the flexible BOWA argon probes achieve optimum flow rates and argon ignition characteristics.
