1 COBLATION REFLEX ULTRA PTR COBLATION REFLEX ULTRA 45 COBLATION TURBINATOR The right options for any turbinate anatomy Explore our full portfolio of turbinate reduction options designed to address any anatomic situation.

2 Choose COBLATION Technology for all your turbinate reduction procedures COBLATION Plasma Technology works through the creation and application of a high-energy field called glow discharge plasma. This controlled plasma field ablates tissue through a chemical process whereby the highly-energized particles in the plasma break down molecules in the tissue, immediately vaporizing mass and providing resistive heating. BENEFITS OF COBLATION TECHNOLOGY n Precise soft tissue removal 1 n Integrated hemostasis n Settings can be fine-tuned n Lower temperatures than other RF-based systems 1 n 100μm 200μm plasma field 1 (about the size of a human hair) COBLATION plasma technology on soft tissue The term COBLATION means controlled ablation. Since the introduction of COBLATION tonsillectomy wands in 1998, the proven patented COBLATION technology has been used in more than 10 million procedures by surgeons in ear, nose and throat (ENT) and various areas of medical specialty. 2

3 Unique anatomies call for unique solutions Minimally invasive hypertrophic turbinate procedures can be efficiently performed in the operating room or in office settings. Smith & Nephew s comprehensive turbinate portfolio includes three options that allow you to customize treatment for every patient s unique anatomy. COBLATION REFLEX ULTRA PTR and ULTRA 45 s COBLATION treatment for hypertrophic turbinates results in immediate removal of central turbinate tissue and continued postoperative contraction of additional tissue for best-in-class results. 3 n May treat anterior and posterior aspects of the turbinate n REFLEX PTR: Two depth markers assist positioning and visibility with pointed tip n REFLEX 45: Three depth markers assist in positioning and visibility with blunt tip COBLATION TURBINATOR The TURBINATOR turbinate reduction wand is designed to allow for fast and efficient submucosal resection with built-in bipolar coag. n Immediate and visible removal of submucosal tissue n Targeted hemostasis with bipolar coagulation feature

4 COBLATION REFLEX ULTRA Wand Performance COBLATION Technology outperforms a leading bipolar radiofrequency applicator 3 The REFLEX ULTRA 45 and REFLEX ULTRA PTR Wands generate plasma through COBLATION technology to immediately vaporize tissue, unlike competitive radiofrequency devices, and create a thermal lesion for continued postoperative tissue contraction. REFLEX ULTRA 45 Wand Lesion Diameter 3 Total Thermal Lesion Diameter 3 Average Lesion Diameter (mm) REFLEX ULTRA 45 REFLEX ULTRA PTR Celon ProBreath (Power 15) Average Lesion Diameter (mm) REFLEX ULTRA 45 REFLEX ULTRA PTR Celon ProBreath (Power 15) Pre-Op COBLATION REFLEX ULTRA Wand Performance Immediate Post-Op REFLEX 45 REFLEX 45 REFLEX PTR REFLEX PTR Celon ProBreath Power 15 Testing performed on bovine myocardium as representative turbinate tissue. When utilizing the technique, the REFLEX ULTRA PTR and REFLEX ULTRA 45 Wands consistently produced larger lesion sizes than the Olympus Celon ProBreath device. The REFLEX family of wands allows the user flexibility in their procedure by utilizing the static technique for smaller lesion size, or the Micro-Motion technique for enhanced tissue removal. 3 1 Month Post-Op Actual case images.
