Frequently asked questions
How does this generator help in reducing blood loss during surgery?
This generator facilitates rapid hemostasis, which helps to reduce blood loss and decrease operating room time by coagulating directly on the stoma of the target tissue.
Can the generator store custom surgical settings?
Yes, the generator can store up to 100 custom surgical settings, allowing for personalized configurations for different procedures.
Which handpieces are compatible with this electrosurgical generator?
The generator is compatible with ConMed ABC handpieces, which are designed to work seamlessly with the system.
What is included with the purchase of the ConMed HelixAR generator?
The purchase includes the ConMed HelixAR Electrosurgical Generator Head Unit with integrated Argon Beam Coagulation (ABC) functionality.
This is the core advanced electrosurgical unit, featuring:
- Proprietary Dynamic Response Technology to mitigate unintentional tissue charring.
- Support for all major modes: Cut, Coagulation, Bipolar, and ABC.
- Program mode capable of storing up to 100 custom surgical settings.
Please note that Argon Gas Canisters and Foot Switches must be acquired separately for operation.
Does the generator have remote power control capabilities?
Yes, the generator features remote power control, allowing adjustments from the sterile field using an electrosurgical pencil.
What benefits does the Argon Beam Coagulation offer?
The integrated Argon Beam Coagulation (ABC) functionality offers several key advantages for enhancing surgical outcomes and field clarity:
- Rapid Hemostasis: ABC coagulates directly onto the target tissue’s stoma, promoting rapid superficial hemostasis. This can lead to reduced operative blood loss and potentially decrease overall OR time.
- Improved Tissue Integrity: Utilizing the cooling effects of argon gas flow, the system operates at lower temperatures than conventional spray coagulation. This process helps minimize unintentional tissue charring and reduces overall tissue damage.
- Precise Delivery and Field Clearance: Argon gas allows for the precise, focused delivery of RF energy. Simultaneously, the flow evacuates surgical smoke and clears fluids, improving the visualization of the surgical field and reducing odors.
Does this generator minimize tissue charring?
Yes, the ConMed HelixAR utilizes Proprietary Dynamic Response Technology specifically designed to mitigate unintentional tissue charring during energy delivery. This feature contributes significantly to improved tissue management and integrity throughout the procedure.
Does it clear the surgical site during use?
Yes, the system utilizes argon gas to deliver a focused stream of energy, which effectively clears the surgical site of fluids and smoke while simultaneously minimizing odor, providing better visualization for the surgeon.
Can I use this for both open and laparoscopic surgeries?
Absolutely. The HelixAR is highly versatile and is specifically engineered for use in both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures, ensuring reliable performance across different clinical settings.
Does it operate at lower temperatures?
Yes, the cooling effects of the argon flow allow the unit to operate at lower temperatures compared to traditional spray coagulation. This helps minimize thermal tissue damage and promotes better surgical outcomes.
