Case description

High power setting Argon Plasma Coagulation. Argon Plasma Coagulation, or APC for short, is a new method of electrocoagulation. As a result, it allows for the non-contact application of electrical energy to achieve tissue destruction or hemostasis (the ability to stop bleeding). APC uses high frequency electrical current delivered via ionized argon gas. This gas, being ionized, allows for the conduction of electricity, thus leading to the term "argon plasma".
