Product catalog summary
Overview: The ARC 100 is a compact electrosurgical device designed for outpatient and small operations, offering both monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery capabilities. It combines practicality with performance and is part of the BOWA ARC family, known for hospital-grade electrosurgical systems.
Specifications: The device provides a 100-watt output power across all modes, with five tissue effects: two monopolar cutting functions, two monopolar coagulation functions, and one bipolar coagulation function. It features a multi-functional socket for simultaneous connection of monopolar and bipolar instruments.
Safety Features: The ARC 100 includes modern safety functions such as EASY neutral electrode monitoring, which ensures 100% safety by providing acoustic and visual warnings if there is insufficient skin contact with the electrode.
Operation: The device is designed for intuitive operation with illuminated indicators for mode and power settings. All modes can be activated via a foot switch, and monopolar functions can also be activated through the handle.
Cutting and Coagulation Modes: The ARC 100 offers Pure CUT for pure cuts without hemostasis and Dry CUT for cuts with a strong hemostatic effect. Coagulation modes include Moderate coagulation for soft tissue dessication and Forced coagulation for tissue fulguration.
Design and Usability: The ARC 100 features a compact, hygienic design with a wipe-clean surface. It is equipped with a single-pedal foot switch for ergonomic operation and sightless orientation.
Accessories: The device comes with a comprehensive accessory package, including a JackKNIFE, neutral electrode cables, bipolar forceps, and a single-pedal foot switch. Optional accessories are also available for enhanced functionality.
Technical Information: The ARC 100 operates within a voltage range of 100 – 260 V and a mains frequency of 50 – 60 Hz. It has a power consumption of up to 160 VA and weighs 5.6 kg. The device is classified under EC Directive 93/42/EEC II b and has a CE0123 identifying mark.

Precise monopolar cutting and effective coagulation The 100 W power output and the tissue effect can be finely adjusted for all modes in 10 steps using the up and down buttons. For monopolar cutting, the modes smooth cutting (Pure CUT) and dry cutting (Dry CUT) are available. Using Dry CUT, deeper coagulation effects are achieved in cutting thanks to a larger arc. Perfect bipolar coagulation Bipolar COAG allows precise coagulation of tissue using a bipolar instrument, e.g. bipolar forceps. No neutral electrode is required for using bipolar coagulation. It is activated by means of the foot switch...
