Laparoscopic argon beam coagulator
Non-contact monopolar electrocoagulation using ionized argon gas to direct current onto a bleeding surface.
How it is used
Used for hemostasis of broad parenchymal surfaces (liver, spleen) after laparoscopic resection, where direct electrode contact is less effective/more traumatic.
