COBLATION™ adenotonsillectomy Wands

Access hard to reach sinus anatomy

Minimal thermal damage, targeted haemostasis and precise tissue removal

Smith & Nephew’s clinical use of plasma for tissue ablation and dissection, known as COBLATION, results in temperatures typically no higher than 40-65 °C, minimizing surrounding tissue thermal damage during tonsillectomy procedures.

Meanwhile, integrated suction, ablation, and coagulation features provide all-in-one instruments designed to help decrease surgical time.

Additional Information

COBLATION technology involves the creation and application of a high-energy field called “glow discharge plasma.” This plasma ablates tissue through a chemical process as highly energized particles in the plasma break down molecules in the tissue. COBLATION technology provides two distinct advantages to the surgeon:

COBLATION operates at lower temperatures than other radio frequency (RF) based technologies
The 100mm – 200mm plasma field allows for precise removal of soft tissue

The term COBLATION means “controlled ablation.” Since the introduction of COBLATION tonsillectomy Wands in 1998, the proven patented COBLATION technology has been used in more than 12 million procedures by surgeons in ear, nose and throat (ENT) and other areas of medical specialty. Surgeons and patients alike continue to benefit from the results of using this advanced technology. Simply put, COBLATION Wands deliver less heat and energy to your patients, resulting in opportunities for better outcomes.1
