Ablate
The Radio Frequency energy flows through the active electrode and return electrode, and by the conductive saline solution, it generates a precisely focused plasma sheath around the electrodes. The plasma sheath consists of massive charged particles which can generate sufficient energy of strong oxidizing when accelerated by the electric field. The generated energy is powerful enough to break the organic molecular bonds within the tissue, and make the tissue rapidly dissolve into molecular and atoms level at a relatively low temperature of 40-70˚C. The device provides rapid and efficient ablation and resection capabilities of soft tissues at a relatively low temperature.
Coagulate
When RF energy acts on tissue (including blood), around the electrode tip it generates Joule heat and electromagnetic wave effect which provides immediate coagulation of tissue protein and sealing of small blood vessels, thus coagulation and haemostasis capabilities of target tissues are realized. The surgical process of plasma ablation creates well-distributed coagulative necrosis for efficient haemostasis while preserving the mucosa and fibrous tissue. Compared to that of conventional surgical methods, its post-operative recovery is improved.
Different from the past thermal coagulation by high temperature, plasma technology can make the working temperature controlled at 40-70˚C, and coagulate the helical structure of collagen molecules meanwhile preserving the cell’s vitality.
