APC® 2 The full range of Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) ARGON PLASMA COAGULATION

Effective hemostasis and devitalization with Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) – A success story… APC is an electrosurgical technique for the management of bleeding and the devitalization of tissue abnormalities. During the procedure electrosurgical current is transferred to the tissue via ionized argon gas. The procedure has few complications and is safe: creating effective hemostasis and a homogenous surface coagulation with a limited penetration depth. Since transmission of the electrosurgical current is by a non-contact t echnique, (the instruments do not ­ come into direct contact with...

Examples of indications in different medical specialties Homogenous coagulation of large surfaces and Argon-supported c utting, for example in ­ ☑ S uperficial and small vascular hemorrhages ☑ Tumor reductions ☑ Tumor bleeding ☑ Recanalization ☑ Granulation ☑ Fistula conditioning ☑ Stent ingrowth/overgrowth ☑ Abdominal surgery ☑ Laparoscopy ☑ Liver surgery ☑ Breast surgery ☑ Visceral surgery ☑ uperficial and small vascular hemorrhages S ☑ Tumor reductions ☑ Tumor bleeding ☑ Devitalization and coagulation of the right colon ☑ Stent ingrowth/overgrowth ☑ Radiation proctitis ☑ GAVE syndrome ☑...

... with a sequel: APC now with new modes and plasma regulation for a wider choice during applications ... The many advantages of argon plasma coagulation have now been perfected ­ with the APC 2 and the VIO System. The VIO APC 2 offers three new modes: These modes cover a unique range of argon plasma coagulation procedures and provide even more safety as well as offering additional applications: from minimal surface coagulation to deep devitalization. Optimal ignition properties make handling even easier. ­ On the one hand “ignition” of the argon plasma is now possible even with very low...

Argon plasma coagulation A comparison of the ignition properties of the APC 2 ☑ Greatly increased range of options for argon plasma coagulation 60 ☑ ptimized adjustment of the thermal effect O with new modes and parameter settings ☑ good ignition properties even at very Very low output settings ☑ Homogenous surface coagulation ☑ Improved control of APC leads to more s afety ­ ☑ asy operation with Plug & Play E ☑ A rgon-supported cutting with the full range of possibilities provided by the new VIO System Argon Cut/Coag: Argon-supported cutting and ­ oagula

... and even more user-friendly. ARGON EXTENSION SOCKET For all VIO/APC unit configurations requiring an additional socket. The APC 2 can include an additional, fourth socket in addition to the 3 active sockets of the VIO. ARGON-SUPPORTED CUTTING AND COAGULATION Argon CUT/COAG reduces smoke plume and carbonization and can be activated for many of the VIO functions. The 3M APC PROBE is particularly suitable for double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) procedures. The APC 2 supports such applications with the PULSED APC mode, thus making it possible to adjust the coagulation depth in minute steps....
