RF & plasma ablation

Controlled energy that removes and seals soft tissue inside a joint — explained from a one-sentence brief down to commissioning detail.

01 · What it does

It removes soft tissue and stops bleeding in the same pass, using energy instead of a blade.

Current stays inside the small gap between two poles at the working tip.

02 · In the procedure

Where it sits in an arthroscopic list.

The camera works through one portal and the RF probe through another, under irrigation.

03 · How it works

Four parts — and one is consumable.

The generator is bought once; electrodes recur and decide the five-year cost.

04 · Engineering

For the biomedical department.

Acceptance covers safety, output, footswitch, cabling and documented settings.

05 · Evidence & limits

What we will put in writing — and what we will not.

We state architecture and modes, but make no comparative or clinical-outcome claims.

The working system

Four parts, one recurring line.

01

Generator

Produces and regulates RF output.

02

Bipolar electrode

Consumable working tip for specific joints.

03

Footswitch

Changes effect without looking away.

04

Irrigation

Completes the circuit and carries heat away.
