Coblation is an advanced technology that combines gentle radiofrequency energy with a natural salt solution to quickly and safely remove tissue. Traditional procedures use high levels of heat to remove the tonsils and adenoids by cutting or burning and may damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Coblation does not remove tissue by heating or burning, leaving the healthy tissue surrounding the tonsils unaffected. For many patients, the innovative approach of Coblation results in minimal pain and rapid recovery.
ArthroCare is developing new products and procedures based on Coblation for a wide range of conditions, including tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, and the treatment of sleep disorders, snoring, chronic stuffy nose and chronic voice disturbances.
