Coblation snoring and sleep surgery procedures involve the reduction or removal of soft tissue, such as those found in the soft palate and uvula to treat patients with socially disruptive snoring and/or upper airway obstruction.
Coblation procedures can be performed on an individual basis, including:
Coblation can also be used as part of a multistage treatment concept such as Coblation Assisted Upper-Airway Procedures, which allows you to choose one or more steps to treat your patient depending on clinical need.
CAUP for the treatment of snoring and upper airway obstruction is a multistage treatment concept which may include turbinate reduction, palate incision, volume reduction by upwards palatal channeling and uvular resection and channeling, pillar reduction by downwards channeling (anterior and posterior), tonsil channeling and other soft tissue reduction. The ReFlex Ultra® SP Plasma Wand can be used for all steps of the procedures, and CAUP has shown to be a very favorable procedure in the treatment of snoring and upper airway obstruction.
