Snoring and OSA Surgery
Coblation® Assisted Upper-airway procedures (CAUP) for the treatment of snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea, is a multistage treatment concept where you can choose one, several or all steps to treat your patient depending on clinical need. For these procedures, the ReFlex® 55 Plasma Wand can be used for all steps.
The procedures may include turbinates, palate incision, volume reduction by upwards palatal channelling and uvular resection and channelling, pillar reduction by downwards channelling (anterior and posterior), tonsil channelling and tongue base reduction.
The CAUP has shown to be a very favourable procedure in the treatment of mild OSAS and snoring.
