Efficacy of SOFT COAG for intraoperative bleeding in thoracic surgery.

چکیده
We present and examine two cases of the dramatic hemostasis with SOFT COAG in general thoracic surgery. SOFT COAG is a coagulation mode unique to VIO electrosurgical units (ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, Germany). This system regulates the temperature rise below boiling point without generating sparks, which is high enough to denature protein. In addition to clinical applications, this coagulation system makes use of a reusable device, Slim line hand switch, which has economically and ecologically major advantages for ecosurgery.
