2 Why Use Argon Beam Coagulation? ABC TRIPLE OPTION HANDPIECE Surgeons use argon beam coagulation (ABC ) technology to focus RF energy into a directional cooler beam of argon gas creating a uniform stream that s distributed evenly on tissue. In addition to convenience and flexibility, this provides a wide range of clinical benefits. Rapid, Superficial Hemostasis The argon gas allows dissection and coagulation directly on the stroma of target tissue, reducing carbonization. This rapid hemostasis can result in less blood loss, less OR time and improved eschar integrity. Less Tissue Damage ABC operates at lower temperatures than standard electrosurgery due to the cooling effects of argon gas flow during energy deliver. ABC operates at approximately 110º C, where as standard monopolar electrosurgery is approximately 220º C 1. This may limit thermal spread and may result in less necrosis which is believed to help lower the risk of post-operative infections. The shallow and consistent depth of the thermal effect helps reduce the chance of sloughing and post-op bleeding. 1 PJW Verco, Case Report and Clinical Technique: Argon Beam Electrosurgery for Tissue Ties and Maxillary Frenectomies in Infants and Children

3 Clear Visualization The argon gas improves clinical visualization by helping carry surgical smoke away from the field of view, reduce unpleasant odors and clearing the surgical site of blood and other fluids. WIRED AND WIRELESS FOOT PEDALS

4 Clinical Performance The Next Generation of Argon Innovation Since its inception, CONMED has been a leader in the argon beam coagulation technology. The HelixAR continues that tradition with a wide range of features you won t find in other systems. ABC MODES Designed to Minimize Unintentional Tissue Charring The HelixAR features CONMED s proprietary Dynamic Response Technology (DRT) that delivers optimal clinical effects in Monopolar Cut, Monopolar Coagulation and Bipolar Coagulation through the continuous synchronization of current and voltage. DRT samples current and voltage 450,000 times per second and can respond to changes in tissue in less than 10 milliseconds, optimizing energy output levels quickly to help ensure the precise voltage is delivered to each tissue type safely. This can help minimize excess tissue burning and decrease healing times. NEW Two NEW ABC Modes To provide surgeons with increased control and customization of the clinical effect, the HelixAR features two new argon beam coagulation modes. PULSE ABC MODE Provides controlled hemostasis for small surface bleeders by providing four different pulse timings: 200 milliseconds (ms) 400 ms 600 ms 1 second ARGON DISSECT MODE Working with CONMED s dissection electrode, HelixAR provides argon- enhanced cutting with four dissect sub modes that allow surgeons to decide how much hemostasis to use: Argon Dissect Pure: negligible hemostasis Argon Dissect Low: low hemostasis Argon Dissect Medium: medium hemostasis Argon Dissect High: maximum hemostasis

5 Customizable Modes to Meet Your Needs Designed for surgeons who demand performance, the HelixAR has three cutting modes: Pure, Blend and Pulse. When precise coagulation is needed, the HelixAR offers four different monopolar coagulation options: Standard, Spray, Pinpoint and Pulse, so surgeons can make the right choice for each unique patient or situation. The HelixAR also offers two bipolar modes, Micro and Macro, Dissecting and Coagulation. Available HelixAR Modes Monopolar Modes PURE CUT PULSE CUT PULSE COAGULATION SPRAY COAGULATION STANDARD COAGULATION PINPOINT COAGULATION New Specialty Cut/Coag Modes GENERAL LAPAROSCOPIC FLUIDS Bipolar Modes MACRO COAGULATION MICRO COAGULATION ABC Modes OPEN (AUTOMATIC) LAP (LAPAROSCOPIC/ ENDOSCOPIC) GI MANUAL PULSE ABC ARGON DISSECT DISSECTING NEEDLE DE High Performance, Ergonomic Handpieces CONMED offers a wide variety of handpieces designed to meet the unique needs of surgeons and their patients. The multifunction Triple Option Handpiece saves time and cuts costs by combining three different functions in one tool. Treat difficult to reach surgical sites with the malleable Bend-A-Beam and help cut costs with the Reusable ABC Handpiece with disposable nozzles. Many CONMED ABC handpieces can be converted to Argon Beam Dissect handpieces with the addition of a Dissecting Blade or Needle Electrode. BEND-A-BEAM MALLEABLE ABC HANDPIECES

6 Mobile, Compact and Versatile Electrosurgical Generator (ESU) In addition to clinical performance, the HelixAR has a wide range of features that make it the ideal choice for your OR. Intuitive Interface The HelixAR delivers a seamless user experience with a bright, colored LCD screen. In addition to an easy-to-use experience, the system can also save a surgeon s preferred settings for additional convenience. INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE Versatile, Mobile Design The HelixAR packs a lot of performance into a sleek, compact footprint. The HelixAR can be conveniently wheeled wherever it s needed and can easily fit in ORs with limited space. It is also a versatile solution, working both as a standard and argon ESU with both monopolar and bipolar capabilities. Compact Footprint ~ Fully Integrated ~ Mobile Two Argon Gas Tanks For maximum OR efficiency and ease-of-use, the HelixAR features two tanks of argon gas. The system automatically switches to the second tank when the first tank is depleted, helping eliminate the wasted time and inconvenience of replacing a tank mid-procedure. Wireless Foot Controller For additional convenience, a wireless footswitch kit is also available. See ordering information for more details.

7 CONMED Advantage Programs CONMED provides three programs designed to offer pricing and procurement advantages that help overcome the budgetary and cash-flow roadblocks to equipping facilities with the new technology they need. Advantage Rewards With a new commitment for CONMED handpieces, we give back a percentage as a credit that can be put towards any capital equipment purchase or service contract in our broad portfolio. This credit can be used up-front if new equipment is need now, or can be banked for later use when existing equipment needs replacement or service. For example, you could use the credit earned by your handpieces purchase to put towards a new visualization system. Advantage Finance The Advantage Finance Program allows you to get this technology at fixed monthly payments with no down payment.
