This new technology could help you to recover faster with less post op bleeding2 compared to other techniques.1,2
This new technology may help with faster recovery2 and less post operative bleeding2
A surgical innovation created to continually advance patient care
The Medtronic tonsillectomy device uses advanced bipolar energy to permanently seal vessels when removing the tonsils. It’s powered by energy platforms that continuously measures the impedance of the clamped tissue and adjusts the energy levels to maintain the desired tissue effect. It automatically stops the energy delivery when the seal is complete.
A procedural solution from Medtronic
The tonsillectomy device is designed specifically for tonsillectomies to follow the shape of the tonsil bed.
We believe there is a better tonsillectomy procedure — for surgeons and patients entrusted in their care.
The tonsillectomy device:
- May reduce any bleeding you might encounter during surgery2
- Provides faster setup for the surgeon and OR staff which allows for a more efficient procedure1,†
Contact your doctor today to discuss your tonsillectomy and enjoy a quick return to normal life.
