Coblation Technology

An advanced and patented process for soft tissue surgical procedures, Coblation combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with natural saline to gently and precisely dissolve tissue without impacting nearby healthy tissue. Derived from "controlled ablation," Coblation is not a heat-driven process, so it avoids the charring or burning of healthy tissue that is common in conventional electrosurgery and in laser surgery, thereby providing patients with a fast and easy recovery.

Coblation has been used in over two million surgeries including more than 150,000 ear, nose and throat surgeries.
