Sutter Medical - News - News-Blog - Management of Rhinophyma using 4 MHz Radiofrequency Technology
 

To date, surgery remains the primary option for the treatment of rhinophyma. Over the last few years many different surgical techniques have been described. With the introduction of radiofrequency monopolar cutting probe, effective, easy-to-handle and fast tissue resection is now possible. The probe can also be used for coagulation, thus producing excellent visibility of the surgical field and minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue. Specially designed probes facilitate the reshaping and sculpturing of the nose and help to even out irregularities on the skin surface.

Using the CURIS 4 MHz radiofrequency generator together with our monopolar electrodes, ENT surgeon H. Sadick, MD from the University Hospital in Mannheim/Germany reports:

“Radiofrequency monopolar surgery in the treatment of rhinophyma has proven to be an easy-to-handle, fast and efficient treatment modality. The combination of monopolar cutting and coagulation at the same time not only facilitates the re-shaping und sculpturing of the nose but also guarantees gentle hemostasis with excellent visibility of the surgical field.“
