ARCUS 400

Costs and benefits – Close the gap


ARC 400: The Specialist for Vessel Sealing

With ARC 400 and BOWA ligation instruments such as TissueSeal PLUS for open surgical applications and NightKNIFE also for laparoscopic use, largebore veins, arteries and tissue bundles of up to 7 mm diameter can be sealed securely and permanently, economically and without residue. Seal security up to a pressure of 700 mmHg has been proven in studies.

Optimal results based on outstanding ergonomics and tactility are a plus for the surgical artist. And the huge potential for saving OR time, suturing material and clips, as well as instrument reusability, convince the strictest cost controller.

Two hundred times instead of once

BOWA ligation instruments can be reused up to two hundred times. As shown in the graph, even after just 50 uses there is an enormous cost advantage over disposable instruments.

Special Applications - Four Examples

Bipolar Resection for Urology

Bipolar resection with the ARC 400 stands out on account of its extremely reliable initial cutting and high resection speed.

Reduced irritation of the obturator nerve and bipolar technology hugely increase operating safety in this field. Using saline solution as a medium prevents the danger of TUR syndrome.

In addition, monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P), surgical treatment of bladder tumours (TUR-BT) and vaporisation of the prostate tissue (TUR-VAP) can also be carried out with the ARC 400.

Resection Cut & COAG - Special modes for the use of bipolar resectoscopes in gynaecology and urology.

Triple Specialty: Functions for Cardiac Surgery

For use in the field of cardiac surgery, three highly specialized functions for effective work are available:

  • SimCOAG for simultaneous coagulation and preparation with two monopolar handles.
  • Cardiac mammaria for forced coagulation near the mammaries.
  • Cardiac thorax for forced coagulation when opening the thorax.
  • Dry cutting for strong haemostasis.
  • For Gynecology: Faster Removal

    In addition to the modes for vessel sealing and monopolar and bipolar resection, a special function is available in gynaecology for laparoscopic supracervical removal of the uterus (LSH).

    This mode – combined with the BOWA MetraLOOP instrument – offers more rapid cutting of the loop for uterus removal. Work can be accomplished safely, rapidly and precisely, even with large loops.

    GastroCut for Gastroenterology

    With the ARC 400 GastroCut modes, gastroenterologists can achieve the best results with polypectomy and papillotomy and endoscopic resections with loops or knife electrodes.

    The gastroenterologist can adjust the haemostasis level of cutting and coagulation power to three speeds, slow, medium and fast, as required. The cut is optimized, the surgeon controls the cut‘s coagulation effect through the effect in nine steps. This allows cautious work to avoid complications, as well as rapid intervention when the situation allows it.
