Conmed HelixAR

The HelixARTM 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

• Rapid, Superficial Hemostasis Reduces carbonization by allowing ABC® to coagulate 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® 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

Consistent Tissue Effects

• Dynamic Response Technology samples current and voltage, responding to changes in tissue in less than 10 milliseconds
• Helps minimize excess tissue charring and decrease patient healing time

Two Argon Gas Tanks

• The system automatically switches to the second tank when the first take is depleted
• Reduces wasted time and inconvenience of replacing a take mid-procedure
