Description
The Thermocoagulator is a handheld device used to treat human tissue lesions. The unit is designed based on the World Health Organization’s guidelines and recommendations for fighting the growing epidemic of cervical cancer. It is a type B thermal coagulator which is a compact, portable, battery-powered mobile device which can be used in hospital and non-hospital rural healthcare locations. It is reusable and provided non-sterile and designed to perform low-power destruction of human pre-cancer cervical or other tissue with high temperatures by tissue contact with a heated probe tip.
Key Features
Heated Probe Tip
Contains a heating element which is heated to 100°C (212°F) on the default setting for the destruction of human tissue. The probe tip should only be applied to tissue which is intended to be ablated. The TC probe shaft is not intended to deliver heat. The probe shaft and sidewall tip has a maximum temperature of 43°C (109°F). Contact with the probe shaft should be avoided during the procedure.
Usability
Automated procedure timing with visual and audible indicators – no watch or clock required. Can be set for 20, 30, 40, or 60 seconds and 80, 90, 100, or 120°C.
Exchangeable Probes
Heat quickly (5-8 seconds) that can be autoclaved for sterilization.
Portable
Lightweight with no tether wires or cables required to connect probe to device and no external power supply required for treatment.
