Description
The New Arthross by Endovision
Founded in 2013, ENDOVISION participated in the development of UBE (Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy)Spi- nal endoscopy and holds technology and intellectual patents for UBE-dedicated medical devices. Starting with that, we expanded and optimized the technology to one-portal spinal endoscope, sports medicine, ENT area.
In particular, we have developed a high-tech plasma generator to ensure safe and precise operation and maximize the surgical effect by possessing innovative technology capable of realizing more stable expres- sion of medical plasma instead of a simple electrical signals.
Stages of plasma generation
First stage: Vapor gas piston formation Decreases heat emission and increase in surface temperature.
Second stage: Stage of vapor film pulsation Tissue ablation occurs during this stage.
Third stage: Reduction of amplitude of current across the electrodes.
Fourth stage: Dissipation of electron energy at the electrod surface
Fifth stage: Thermal dissipation of energy this stage is essentially due to recombination of plasma ions, active atoms, and molecules.
These stages explain why coblation is effective if applied intermittently.
This ensures the constant presence of stage of vapour film pulsation which is important for tissue ablation
Plasma Effect on tissue
The effect of plasma is purely chemical and not thermal.
Plasma generates H and OH ions. These ions that make plasma destructive. OH, radical causes of protein degrada- tion. When Coblation is being used to perform surgery the interface between the plasma and dissected tissue acts as a gate for charged particles.
Coblation causes low-temperature molecular disintegration. This causes volumetric removal of tissue with minimal damage to adjacent tissue. (Collateral damage is low).
Temperatures: 40 ° C – 70 ° C Thermal penetration: Minimal Deep
Effects on Target tissue: Gentle removal
Dissolution Effects on surrounding tissue: Minimal dissolution
RF Plasma generator made by ENDOVISION is applicable to all surgery as well as all area like Spine, Sports Medicine and ENT.
It shows sophisticated signals and diversified levels 1-9 to meet the needs required from each indication.
RF Console
ENDOVISION RF Plasma is able to quickly and efficiently ablate, coagulate, and hemostasis the target tissue at a relatively low temperature of 40~70 ℃, unlike
high-temperature operations.
Depending on the target area, level 1 to 9 steps can be a sophisticated operation.
※ [Notice] Next generation Product.
DUAL ACTION type console Expected to be released in the second half of 2020.
Ablation
Electrical energy flows through the active and return electrodes, and saline creates a plasma sheath that is precisely concentrated around the electrodes. Plasma sheath consist of large charged particles that can generate sufficient energy for strong oxidation when accelerated by an electric field.
The energy generated is so powerful that it breaks the bonds of organic molecules within the tissue and allows the tissue to rapidly dissolve to a molecular and atomic level at a relatively low temperature of 40-70 ° C. This product provides rapid and efficient ablation and resection of tissue at relatively low temperatures.
Coagulation
When electrical energy acts on the tissue, joule heat and electromagnetic wave effects are created around the electrode tips, resulting in immediate coagulation of tissue proteins and sealing of small blood vessels, thus achieving coagulation and hemostasis of the target tissue.
The surgical procedure by plasma resection allows efficient hemostasis while preserving mucosa and fibrous tissue.
Unlike past high temperature thermal coagulation, plasma technology adjusts the operating temperature to 40-70˚C to minimize thermal damage to normal tissues and coagulate the helical structure of collagen molecules to maintain cell viability.

Surgical Testing Result Data & Evaluation report by Doctor
Dr. Lee (Severance Hospital)
“The new Arthross RF System by Endovision was excellent operated with precisely and smoothly with a consistent supplying of power. We satisfied the quality of ablation and coagulation during surgery.
In special, was much higher performance of suction functionally than the competitors.
I should strongly recommend this new Arthross RF System to all surgeon I know globally.”
