ERBE APC 300

ERBE APC 300 Electrosurgical Unit

The ERBE APC 300 Electrosurgical Unit is the first-generation APC system from ERBE, designed for gastrointestinal and tracheobronchial interventions. This refurbished unit redefines flexible endoscopic interventions by using ionized argon gas to achieve non-contact coagulation, cutting, and ablation. Its advanced features enable precise control over tissue effects, while providing effective hemostasis and superficial tissue devitalization. Soma Tech Intl offers this unit refurbished at up to 50% below OEM prices with full service and warranty, making it an economical option for modern ORs and ambulatory surgical centers.

Key Features

• Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC):

  • Utilizes ionized argon gas for effective, non-contact electrosurgery.

  • Endo Cut: Optimized mode specifically for endoscopic procedures.
  • Mono- and Bipolar Cutting: Offers versatility in cutting techniques.
  • Power Peak System (PPS): Provides intelligent support for initial incisions and cutting.

• Coagulation Modes:

  • Soft Coag: Precisely controlled coagulation with minimal carbonization.
  • Forced Coag: Rapid coagulation for urgent situations.
  • Spray Coag: Delivers efficient surface coagulation.
  • Twin Coag: Enables comfortable coagulation on two channels with separate settings.
  • Auto Start/Stop: Facilitates hands-free coagulation operation.

• User-Friendly Operation:

  • Maximum ease-of-use through 11 individually configurable programs.
  • Integrated Neutral Electrode Safety System (NESSY) ensures double-safe cutting.

• Safety & Handling:

  • Designed to reduce complications and tissue damage.
  • Provides both mono- and bipolar capabilities for cutting and coagulation.
