The QUANTUM™ 2 system QUANTUM COBLATION™ technology takes arthroscopic surgery to an elevated level by giving you the power and control you require to handle whatever you find, in every joint you treat.  Multi-electrode COBLATION devices AMBIENT™ COBLATION Wand Collection AMBIENT COBLATION devices are the first and only RF wands that provide real-time visual and audible feedback of the temperature of the irrigating fluid in the joint space. Available in SUPER MULTIVAC™ 50, SUPER TURBOVAC™ 90, COVAC™ 50 and 70 designs.  SUPER TURBOVAC™ COBLATION Wand The SUPER TURBOVAC 90 Wand has powerful suction that draws free-floating, wispy tissue to the active electrode screen to minimize clogging. It is an instrument of choice for tissue removal in subacromial decompression and ACL reconstruction.  STARVAC™ COBLATION Wand The STARVAC 90 Wand touts an innovative single aperture, star screen design which combines aggressive ablation speed with powerful suction.  SUPER MULTIVAC™ COBLATION Wand The SUPER MULTIVAC 50 Wand is uniquely designed to facilitate access to hard-to-reach parts of the knee with its 50˚ angle. It contours tissue edges to minimize the rough, jagged appearance that may result from the use of mechanical instruments.  COVAC™ COBLATION Wand COVAC 50 and 70 Wands feature a wire electrode configuration, 50˚ and 70˚ shaft angles and beveled tips for versatility in the knee.  ELIMINATOR™ COBLATION Wand The ELIMINATOR 90 Wand is a right angle, nonsuction Wand that provides rapid tissue removal for general arthroscopic soft tissue ablation. The 3.5mm 90˚ Wand is designed for your everyday arthroscopic needs.  MENIVAC™ COBLATION Wand MENIVAC 45 Wands features more than 20 active electrodes for aggressive resection of meniscal tissue. The electrode transects the suction lumen, removing bubbles for added visibility, particularly in the posterior meniscus.  TRISTAR™ COBLATION Wand The TRISTAR 50 Wand maintains an enclosed ablation field surrounding the whole Wand tip. The low profile allows access to hard to reach sections of the meniscus and around delicate articular cartilage.  DOME™ COBLATION Wands DOME Wands have dome-shaped electrode configurations, providing increased contact with curbed tissue structures. This design helps maintain tissue contact when access angles vary. DOME Wands are available in two shaft angles (30˚ and 60˚) for flexibility.  BEVEL™ COBLATION Wands BEVEL Wands have versatile cutting angles in slimline designs for ease of insertion. The BEVEL Wands are available with three shaft angles (30˚, 45˚ and 60˚) for a wide variety of surgical applications.  References 1  2   talder KR, Woloszko J, Brown IG, Smith CD.
