The HelixAR combines the advanced specialty modes of a premium ESU with the benefits of Conmed's latest ABC Technology.
The HelixAR is intended for both open and laparoscopic procedures and includes:
Monopolar Specialty Modes:
Laparoscopic: Limits voltage to 2700V in lap mode, helping reduce the risks of inadvertent burns from capacitive coupling
Fluids: Rapid energy initiation for immediate clinical effect in high load/low impedance conditions
Pulse Coag: Pulsing bursts of coagulation for controlled hemostasis with reduced tissue carbonization
ABC Modes:
Argon Dissect: Works with the Conmed dissecting electrode to provide argon enhanced cutting with four varying levels of hemostasis
Pulse Argon: Provides controlled hemostasis for small surface bleeders with four pulse timings
Benefits of ABC Technology:
Rapid, Superficial Hemostasis:
Reduces carbonization by allowing coagulation directly on the stroma of target tissue
Less blood loss, less or time and improved eschar integrity can result from this rapid hemostasis
Less Tissue Damage:
Due to the cooling effects of argon flow during RF energy delivery, ABC Technology operates at lower temperatures than spray coagulation.
Focused RF Energy
Argon gas enables precise delivery of RF energy in a uniform stream, which is distributed evenly on tissue.
Clear Visualization:
Improves visualization by helping carry surgical smoke away from the field of view, reduces unpleasant odors and clears the surgical site of blood and other fluids.
