6.3.22. Program 21 "GastroCUT Pol" (optional for ARC 300)
This program is used in gastroenterology for the removal of polyps with
polypectomy snares via flexible endoscopes.
In this program, polypectomy snares are used for cutting and
coagulation. Arc control technology generates the cutting effect with
simultaneously minimized power output.
ARC control facilitates immediate cutting and prevents adhesion of the
electrodes.
The degree of coagulation increases with an increasing blend factor.
Three modes are available in this program: fast, medium, and slow.
For further information on the “GastroCut” mode, see Chapter
"GastroCUT" mode, Page 27.
