T.O.M™ | 1 SINGLE INSTRUMENT FOR ALL YOUR SURGERIES
T.O.M™ | 1 SINGLE INSTRUMENT FOR ALL YOUR SURGERIES
The revolution in veterinary surgery!
T.O.M™ combines all the advantages of both monopolar and bipolar modes, without their disadvantages and just with ONE intrument!
T.O.M™, Tripolar-Open-Multifunctional, replaces many electrosurgical devices:
- Monopolar handle
- Neutral plate
- Standard bipolar forceps
- More than 10 other instruments
By a simple rotation of blade electrode, T.O.M™ offers 12 functions:
- Small-scale cutting
- Large-scale cutting
- Coagulation, etc.
T.O.M™ ensures safety for both practioner and patient:
- Very low voltage operation
- Constant cutting depth
- No risk of plate burns
T.O.M™ has the advantage of eco-design:
- Autoclavable handpiece
- Consumables limited to 4 grams
- Eco-responsible packaging
Switching to T.O.M™ensures you have:
Excellent work efficiency
- Simplified surgical preparation
- Bipolar mode
- Many cutting coagulation functions
- Extremely effective haemostasis
Savings in both time and money
- A single tool for all your surgeries
- Blade for cutting and coagulation
- Autoclavable sterilisation
- Time savings resulting from optimised equipment management
Maximum safety
- Very low voltage operation
- Constant cutting depth
- No risk to the patient of plate burns
- Smoke evacuation on the production site (Extra T.O.M™)
Extra T.O.M™
Aspiration of surgical smoke and/or tissue irrigation
The aspiration of surgical smoke, aerosols and harmful gases directly from their source provides effective protection for the practitioner and his/her team, and improved visibility of the surgical site.
Irrigation of the tissues makes gentle coagulation possible, without charring, for rapid control of complicated bleeding.
Principle of high frequency surgery
Monopolar electric scalpels pass an electric current through the animal between two electrodes: the active electrode and the passive Electrode (the neutral plate).
Standard bipolar forceps do not require a neutral plate, as the two tips are the two active electrodes.
The electrical signal is modulated by the machine depending upon the results you want to achieve:
- Cutting
- Coagulation
- Cutting with coagulation
Monopolar function:
In monopolar mode, several types of current are used to:
- Cut
- Coagulate
- Cut with haemostasis
Bipolar function:
The bipolar function is used for coagulation. It is very practical, in particular for the coagulation of blood vessels.
However, it is unsuitable for dissecting large tissue masses and ineffective for cutting.
HAS (Haute autorité de Santé - French Health Authority) recommendation: The bipolar mode should be preferred to the monopolar mode due to the risk of burns relatede to:
- high voltage
- poor contact with the neutral plate
