PROFILE |
 |
With the wave of a wand, ArthroCare makes tissue disappear. The company's proprietary Coblation technology uses radio frequency energy to remove soft tissue from the body. Its Arthrocare Arthroscopic System lets surgeons use specialized wands to focus the energy and minimize damage to nearby healthy tissue, simultaneously sealing small, bleeding vessels. First used in arthroscopic procedures to repair joints, the electrosurgery system product line now includes equipment used in ear, nose, and throat procedures; myocardial revascularization procedures; spinal and neurological surgery; and cosmetic surgery. ArthroCare markets its products worldwide and has licensing agreements with Boston Scientific and INAMED.
