ArgonPlasmaCoagulation

Argon plasma coagulation is a medical procedure that uses a stream of ionized argon gas to stop bleeding or destroy abnormal tissue. During the procedure, a probe is brought close to the tissue, and an electrical current is passed through the argon gas. This creates a plasma beam that delivers heat to the target area, causing it to coagulate and seal off blood vessels. It is often used in endoscopic procedures to treat gastrointestinal bleeding, remove polyps, or ablate tumors. The argon plasma beam is precise and can be applied to specific areas without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This method is generally considered safe and effective for various medical applications. Recovery time is typically short, and the procedure can be performed with minimal discomfort to the patient. The use of argon plasma coagulation is a well-established technique in interventional medicine.
