COBLATOR II Surgery System
COBLATION™ 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).
