ERBE Erbotom ICC 300

ERBE Erbotom ICC 300 Electrosurgical Unit

The ERBE Erbotom ICC 300 Electrosurgical Unit is a high-frequency surgical device engineered for cutting and coagulation during medium to major surgical procedures. Designed to deliver consistent, reproducible tissue effects, the ICC 300 offers multiple cutting and coagulation modes—including Auto Cut, Endo Cut, Forced Coagulation, Soft Coagulation, and Bipolar Coagulation—ensuring minimal carbonization and enhanced safety. With features like the Power Peak System (PPS) for intelligent support of initial incisions, and an integrated Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) option, this unit provides versatile electrosurgical capabilities in a price-conscious package.

Key Features

• Multiple Cutting & Coagulation Modes:
  • Auto Cut: Automatic open/closed-loop control delivers reproducible, precise cuts.
  • Endo Cut: Designed for use with snare wires and sphincterotomes, ideal for polypectomy and papillotomy procedures.
  • Forced Coagulation: Efficiently stops bleeding by generating sparks with small surface electrodes, such as TUR resection loops.
  • Soft Coagulation: Provides controlled coagulation with minimal tissue carbonization.
  • Bipolar Coagulation: Offers even safer coagulation with a peak voltage maintained below 200 Vp.
• Advanced Power Control:
  • Adjustable high-frequency (HF) power output from 1 to 300 watts in 1-watt steps.
  • HF power limitation is set via up/down keys and displayed on a 7-segment display with three decimal places (precision ±1 digit or ±15%).
  • Integrated Power Peak System (PPS) enhances initial incision support.
• Robust & Reliable Operation:
  • Designed for both monopolar and bipolar cutting/coagulation with automatic voltage and arc regulation.
  • Expandable for Argon Plasma Coagulation via an integrated plug-in connection.
• User-Friendly Interface & Safety:
  • Intuitive controls for activation via key or pedal.
  • Electronic locking of HF connecting sockets prevents inadvertent cross-connection.
