Monopolar intranasal suction coagulator. (Product Marketplace).Kirwan Surgical Products, Inc., introduces a product that eliminates the drawbacks of traditional suction suction /suc·tion/ (suk´shun) aspiration of gas or fluid by mechanical means. post-tussive suction a sucking sound heard over a lung cavity just after a cough. coagulators. The Monopolar Intranasal in·tra·na·sal adj. Within the nose. Suction Coagulator's ergonomic shape and unique tip design allow surgeons to work at angles that are nearly parallel to the target tissue, as opposed to the traditional perpendicular. The end of the instrument's suction tube is cut at a 45[degrees] angle, and the edge is beveled bev·el n. 1. The angle or inclination of a line or surface that meets another at any angle but 90°. 2. Two rules joined together as adjustable arms used to measure or draw angles of any size or to fix a surface at an angle. to make procedures more comfortable for the surgeon. The tip of the suction coagulator coagulator /co·ag·u·la·tor/ (ko-ag´u-la?ter) a surgical device that utilizes electrical current or light to stop bleeding. argon beam coagulator has two cutouts along the beveled edge that produce a dynamic airflow, creating suction on two planes simultaneously. The superior airflow reduces the potential for clogging and eliminates the need for an aspiration port on the handle. The narrow tip permits precise coagulation coagulation (kōăg'y  lā`shən), the collecting into a mass of minute particles of a solid dispersed throughout a liquid (a sol), usually followed by the precipitation or of the target tissue with less thermal injury to adjacent structures. Applying the full profile of the tube to the target tissue increases the coagulation coverage for each pass. The handle is designed with ridges molded into the surface for a sure-grip texture. The lack of a suction port allows the instrument to be rotated 360[degree]. An indicator at the base of the handle confirms the position of the instrument tip. The dynamic airflow of the larger orifice orifice /or·i·fice/ (or´i-fis) 1. the entrance or outlet of any body cavity. 2. any opening or meatus.orific´ial aortic orifice creates better suction at the tip, reduces the potential for clogging, and makes the instrument easier to clean. The intranasal suction coagulator is available in a 3 1/2" (18.9 cm) working length and two French sizes--8 Fr, 10 Fr. Circle 131 on Reader Service Card |
