Coagulation electrosurgical unit APC 3000

ablationminimally invasive surgeryplasma

Short description
Taktvoll Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) APC 3000 is a medical APC unit for non-contact coagulation and tissue ablation in endoscopic and open surgical procedures. It provides controlled argon delivery with precise flow adjustment to enable rapid hemostasis while minimising thermal injury.

Features

• LED display with digital flow readout for clear monitoring.
• Precision flow control: adjustable 0.1-12 L/min with 0.1 L/min accuracy.
• Automatic self-test at startup and automatic pipeline flushing.
• Graduated blockage alarm and automatic shutdown on full blockage.
• Dual gas cylinder supply with low-pressure alarm and automatic switchover.
• Selectable modes: endoscopy mode (electrocautery disabled to prevent activation via 'Cut' pedal) and open surgery mode.
• One-touch gas stop function that does not affect electrosurgery when off; parameters auto-restore when re-enabled.
• Cutting under argon coverage reduces heat spread and improves precision.
• Argon hose nozzle options: axial spray, side-fired spray, circumferential spray; colour-coded rings indicate focal distance for pre-assessment.
• Argon therapy conversion interface compatible with electrodes from multiple brands.

Clinical Advantages

• Ionized argon beam conducts energy to displace blood and coagulate mucosal surfaces for rapid hemostasis without direct contact.
• Inert argon isolates oxygen, reducing thermal damage and tissue necrosis risk.
• Plasma beam coagulation effectively ablates mucosal tissue and treats vascular lesions with minimal collateral damage.
• Extended argon ion beam length improves visibility and reduces perforation risk during endoscopic ablation.
