For the safe application of APC in the GIT, TBS and ENT we recommend the FiAPC probe – the new probe with a safety filter. FiAPC probes are available in various versions (varying lengths and diameters) with axial, lateral and circular openings for the plasma beam. ERBE FiAPC probes are suitable for use with all standardtype flexible endoscopes. Advantages of APC in gastroenterology or pulmonology: - Safe, effective and rapid coagulation, even of larger areas - Limited penetration depth, may therefore also be used in areas there is a risk of perforation - Minimal carbonization, better wound healing - No vaporization, minimal risk of perforation - Reduced smoke plume, good vision at the operation site, fewer unpleasant odors - Non-contact procedure, therefore no adhesion of the probe to the tissue - Minimal risk of damage to metal stents - Procedure is efficient, safe and easy to learn - Cost-efficient equipment The connection cable and filter of the FiAPC probe are completely integrated in the probe („all in one“). FiAPC single-use probes can be immediately used in the OR. There is no need to prepare the connecting cable – which means no preparation costs for the cable. This represents a significantly lower price per APC application compared to conventional single-use APC probes. FiAPC probes have particularly good ignition properties. For the surgeon that means applications are safer and more convenient. Protection against contamination A membrane filter prevents possible contamination of the APC device through the reflux of blood or secretions. The filter and the connecting cable are firmly integrated in the APC probe. This all-in-one solution makes handling the probe in the OR much easier. Plug and play is supported by instrument detection.
