Coblation Treatment of Laryngeal Lesions and Tracheal Procedures

Coblation^® is being utilized in the larynx for the treatment of lesions such as papilloma, and polyps. It is also being used in the tracheal for debulking tissue. Coblation has been used with success in a variety of procedures in this area and adds the benefit of limited damage to underlying tissues and a bloodless field.

Recent studies in peer-reviewed journals indicate several advantages that Coblation treatment offers:

Adequate access using a conventional laryngoscope
Ablation of papillomata without physical trauma to underlying tissues
Improvement of voice quality with limited or no trama
Extended median time between treatments
Eliminating risk of tissue loss into the distal airway
Decreased risk of bleeding
Overall ease of use

The PROcise™ LW Wand offers the performance and easy access required for the minimally invasive removal of laryngeal lesions and tracheal tissue debulking.
