Bipolar resection has FDA 510(k) clearance in gynecology, having shown lower risks of electrolyte imbalance, compared to monopolar resection

Olympus has received FDA 510(k) clearance of claims that the bipolar electrosurgery featured with its plasma hysteroscopic resection and vaporization system has lower risks of electrolyte imbalance (hyponatremia) compared to monopolar electrosurgery. This advantage can lead to improved patient outcomes. During the gynecological procedure, plasma is created by the combination of radio frequency, energy and saline. Due to its conductivity, the plasma allows the energy to cross into the targeted tissue at lower energy levels than with more traditional approaches. This effect leads to lower operating temperatures and therefore less thermal spread.
