APC and Stents APC and Stents
Proliferation of tumor tissue through the mesh of the stent often occurs when using non-coated metal stents. Argon-Plasma Coagulation (APC) has proved to be very effective in removing such in- and overgrowths compared to other procedures such as contact coagulation or laser treatments. APC as a non-contact procedure (see detailed fig. for the physical principle) and the VIO PULSED APC mode used with effect 2 show best results in such cases.

    Advantages of ERBE equipment

    • Minimal risk of damage to metal stents
    • Safe, effective and rapid coagulation, even of larger areas
    • Limited penetration depth, may therefore also be used in areas where there is a risk of perforation
    • Minimal carbonization, better wound healing
    • Non-contact procedure, therefore no adhesion of the probe to the tissue
    • Axial, radial or lateral application possible
    • Cost-efficient equipment
