RF Applications
Radiofrequency is used every where the utmost degree of precision and safety is required. In recent years this technology has been employed successfully in many surgical disciplines.
The most important applications at a glance
Radiofrequency Surgery
Radiofrequency surgery is effective and safe at the same time. It offers the highest degree of precision and causes a minimum of thermal damage compared to conventional electrosurgical units. The precise energy input makes it the ideal technology for microsurgery.
RaVoR™ of the Inferior Turbinates
Outpatient treatment of the nasal turbinates – fast and minimally invasive.
RaVoR™ of the soft palate
Volume reduction of the soft palate: A treatment to reduce or eliminate velar snoring on an out-patient basis. It is simple, and no specific follow-up treatment is required.
RaVoR™ of the tongue base
Radiofrequency Volume Reduction (RaVoR™) of the tongue base is today the only minimally invasive surgical treatment option for obstructions at that level.
RaVoR™ of the tongue base tonsils
Radiofrequency Volume Reduction (RaVoR™) can be used for minimally invasive treatment of hypertrophic tongue base tonsils.
Tonsillotomy
Tonsillotomy with radiofrequency is a safe and easy-to-learn procedure. Children with symptomatic tonsillar hyperplasia profit from it enormously. Compared to other procedures for removing parts of or even all tonsillar tissue, radiofrequency tonsillotomy for children with symptomatic tonsillar hyperplasia without chronic tonsillitis may be the treatment of choice.
Tonsillectomy
The To-BiTE™ offers quite a revolutionary method of performing tonsillectomies! The To-BiTE™ is a new kind of clamp for tonsillectomy with bipolar coagulation. It combines four functions in one enabling the surgeon to coagulate, grasp, dissect and extract fumes or blood with only one instrument.
NON-STICK
Exact pinpoint coagulation and safe grasping of vessels for most precise operations without interruption.
Epistaxis
Radiofrequency coagulation is a new method for the treatment of epistaxis with the advantage of causing less thermal damage to the surrounding mucosa.
Most precise cutting
Micro-dissection electrodes for very fine cuts requiring the utmost degree of precision. Ultrasharp tips for clean and fine skin and tissue incisions. Heat-resistant insulation prevents undesired burns.
Larynx
Shorter operating time and better hemostasis. No special safety precautions are necessary. Radiofrequency treatment of the larynx offers greater comfort and more convenience for the surgeon.
Skin rejuvenation
radioplasty® -- skin rejuvenation without surgery – is a gentle, non-ablative treatment for small wrinkles and lax skin. It is quick and easy. No time-consuming patient preparation and no separate follow-up are required.
