30 years of COBLATION technology
Sports medicine resection was very different in the mid-1990s. Tools such as electrocautery performed a task at the time, but their reliance on heat-driven methods came with notable drawbacks in the form of thermal damage, a narrow margin of error around delicate anatomy, and adverse effects on patient healing.
A breakthrough concept of passing a radiofrequency current through saline emerged, allowing engineers to generate a low-temperature plasma field capable of disassociating tissue on a molecular level using energized ions rather than thermal destruction.
The resulting ‘controlled ablation’ (or COBLATION) entered the field of sports medicine in 1996 and offered surgeons a true alternative that redefined the standards for resection.
Continuing to evolve over three decades of research and innovation, including refined wand designs, improved delivery systems and expanded indications, COBLATION Technology continues to set the gold standard for resection.
