COBLATOR II Surgery System


COBLATOR™ II surgery system
Operating modes
Smith & Nephew COBLATION™ products are designed to operate in both ablation and
coagulation modes, which result in different tissue effects.

Ablation mode
As the Controller settings increase from 1 to 9 in the COBLATION mode, the performance of the Wand
transitions from a thermal effect to ablative effect through the creation and intensity of plasma. When the
Controller setting increases, the plasma field increases in size, and thermal effect decreases accordingly.

Coagulation mode
All COBLATION Wands can operate in Coag mode for hemostasis. The bipolar nature of the Wand sends
energy through the desired tissue, coagulating the blood vessels through a resistive heating process.

COBLATOR™ II System Set-up
1 Turn on the power switch at the front of the Controller. Connect the foot pedal and the Wand cable
into the corresponding receptacles on the front of the Controller. When the Wand is connected to the
Controller, the default settings for that particular Wand will appear on the Coblate and Coag displays.
Adjust as needed and per surgeon preference.

2 For Wands with saline irrigation tubing, attach the flow control valve unit to an IV pole by placing the
clamp onto the pole. Hang a 500ml or 1000ml bag of saline on the IV pole, and set the bag height
approximately 3 feet above the patient for optimal flow.

3 Plug one end of the flow control cable into the rear of the flow control valve Unit and the other end into the
receptacle on the front of the Controller. Press the valve switch up (so that the green
light is illuminated) to open the pinch valve.

Fig. 1

Close the irrigation tubing roller clamp, spike the saline bag with
irrigation tubing extension, and thread the irrigation tubing behind
the pinch valve.

4 Open the irrigation tubing roller clamp to manually start the


saline flow. Once the saline exits the Wand tip, set the drip rate
with the roller clamp to the desired level. Press the valve switch
to the down/AUTO position.

Fig. 2

NOTE: Saline should only drip when the surgeon steps on the
foot pedal. If saline flows non-stop, check that the saline tubing
is completely engaged in the pinch valve.

5 Connect the suction tubing of the Wand to the OR suction


(recommended suction pressure is 250-350mm Hg).
