Monopolar Intranasal Suction Coagulator
New design allows surgeons to work at
angles that are nearly parallel to the target tissue
Marshfield, MA – April 18, 2002 – Kirwan Surgical Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of electrosurgical instruments, recently introduced a product that eliminates the drawbacks of traditional suction coagulators.
Kirwan’s Monopolar Intranasal Suction Coagulator’s ergonomic shape and unique tip design allows 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° angle and the edge is beveled to make procedures more comfortable for the surgeon.
The tip of the suction coagulator has two cutouts along the beveled edge. These cutouts create 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 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 elegantly designed. Ridges are molded into the surface creating a sure-grip texture. The lack of a suction port allows the instrument to be rotated 360°. An indicator at the base of the handle confirms the position of the instrument tip.
The intranasal suction coagulator is available in a 3 ˝” (l8.9 cm) working length and two French sizes – 8Fr, 10 Fr.
The dynamic airflow of the larger orifice creates better suction at the tip, reduces the potential for clogging, and makes the instrument easier to clean.
