Case description

A forward firing probe is used to fulgurate individual sites. Firstly, argon gas is emitted from the end of the probe running through the endoscope channel. Next, high-frequency current is discharged from an electrosurgery unit. When argon gas becomes electrically conductive ( argon plasma ) this allows the current to reach the targeted mucosa of the tissue which is coagulated shallowly and uniformly. The device is especially effective for the coagulation of hemorrhages on the surface of the tissue.
