A combined approach using APC and subsequent mechanical tumor ablation (for example, using forceps) can be used to effectively treat patients with large tumors and life-threatening stenoses.
The circular APC probe 2200, circular, was designed to allow a radial application angle of 360° for optimal intraluminal application. Another advantage becomes apparent during handling: the APC beam coagulates the tissue nearest to it. It is not necessary to turn the probe towards the target area.
