VAPR VUE: A Cutting-Edge Radiofrequency Solution for Arthroscopic Surgery
The VAPR VUE by DePuy Mitek is a state-of-the-art electrosurgical unit specifically designed for arthroscopy, utilizing high-precision bipolar radiofrequency technology. It enables orthopedic surgeons to perform tissue resection and coagulation procedures with high efficiency and optimal control. Its intuitive user interface and automatic power regulation system make it an ideal piece of equipment for modern operating rooms.
The VAPR VUE offers five distinct treatment modes to meet the specific needs of surgical procedures. The Ablation (Vaporization) mode applies high-frequency power to the tip of the electrode, creating a vapor pocket that allows precise and effective tissue vaporization. The Coagulation mode uses high-frequency current to induce tissue coagulation without producing sparks or cuts, thereby reducing the risk of collateral damage. The COOLPULSE Ablation mode delivers short bursts of high power, allowing for rapid vaporization while preserving the integrity of surrounding tissues. This mode is particularly suited for cold environments or conditions with high saline solution flow. The Blended Ablation mode combines tissue vaporization with simultaneous hemostasis, ensuring better bleeding control and optimal visibility of the surgical site. Finally, the Temperature-Controlled Coagulation mode, which can only be used with compatible electrodes, automatically regulates the electrode’s temperature to prevent overheating and thermal damage to tissues.
The VAPR VUE is designed to optimize the use of compatible electrodes. Its intelligent system automatically adjusts power based on the type of electrode connected, ensuring optimal performance and maximum patient safety.
The VAPR VUE stands out for its five bipolar modes, allowing for optimal adaptation to various surgical applications. Its automatic power regulation system adjusts parameters according to the connected electrode type, ensuring enhanced safety and efficiency. It also features a temperature management system for compatible electrodes, reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues.
The VAPR VUE’s intuitive user interface makes it easy to use and reduces the training time required for medical staff. It can be operated via a wired or wireless footswitch, providing greater flexibility during procedures. Thanks to its advanced bipolar technology, it minimizes thermal damage to adjacent tissues, enhancing the precision of surgical interventions.
