Epistaxis
Radiofrequency coagulation is a new method for the treatment of epistaxis with the advantage of causing less thermal damage to the surrounding mucosa.
Blood vessels on the surface of the nasal mucosa are often the cause for recurrent nasal bleeding. Radiofrequency coagulation (RF coagulation) is a new method for the treatment of such vessels. It has the advantage of causing less thermal damage to the surrounding mucosa.
Recurrent epistaxis occurs predominantely in Osler‘s disease. Despite a broad armamentarium of treatment methods, successful therapy in this patient group has been difficult to achieve. RF coagulation is an inexpensive alternative to laser treatment, and preliminary results are promising.
Advantages
- Very fast treatment (only a few seconds for each application)
- Less thermal damage to the mucosa
Ideal Product Combination for this Application
