COBLATION® Technology
WEREWOLFTM COBLATION System
Confident outcomes through control:
- Better clinical outcomes – 88% relative less risk of replacement surgery at four years compared to mechanical debridement.
- Faster post-op recovery – 35% less physical therapy sessions compared to mechanical debridement.
- Safe for use on all tissue types – 88% of lesions showed no progression in second-look arthroscopy study.
COBLATION Wands
Rapid ablation and precise sculpting:
- COBLATION FLOW 50™ Wand (FLOW-IQ Technology): Optimal performance on multiple tissue types with automated outflow control. Efficiently resect targeted tissue while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.
- AMBIENT™ SUPER TURBOVAC 90 Wand: Screen shape and profile provide bulk tissue debridement in the shoulder and knee. Accurate real-time temperature monitoring of the intraarticular fluid.
- AMBIENT MEGAVAC 90 Wand: Mega-sized suction wand with a large, single-aperture suction port. Swift removal of bubbles and debris during shoulder and knee repair.
- AMBIENT HIPVAC 50 Wand: Designed for hip procedures, the wand provides a 50° tip and rigid shaft. Efficient and precise ablation, as well as resection of soft tissue.
