Conmed Helixar Electrosurgical Generator with ABC Technology

The Conmed Helixar Electrosurgical Generator with integrated Argon Beam Coagulation (ABC) is a premium surgical unit designed for both open and laparoscopic procedures. Ideal for hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty ORs, it combines advanced tissue effect control with efficient non-contact coagulation to enhance safety, reduce thermal damage, and improve visual clarity.

Overview

Powered by CONMED’s Dynamic Response technology, the Helixar continuously adapts power output in under 10 ms based on tissue impedance, ensuring consistent cutting and coagulation. The built-in ABC system provides argon-enhanced coagulation—offering rapid superficial hemostasis, lower carbonization, and improved visualization by clearing surgical smoke and pooled fluids.
