Intended Use

The Renuvion®/J-Plasma® Precise Handpiece is intended to be used with compatible J-Plasma electrosurgical generators for the delivery of helium plasma for cutting, coagulation of soft tissue during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.

The Renuvion®/J-Plasma® Precise Open Handpiece is intended to be used with compatible J-Plasma electrosurgical generators for the delivery of radiofrequency energy and/or helium plasma for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. The Renuvion®/J-Plasma® Precise Open® Handpieces are compatible with electrosurgical Generators BVX-200H, and BVX-200P.

Device Description

The Renuvion/J-Plasma Handpieces are sterile, single use electrosurgical accessories intended to be used in conjunction with compatible electrosurgical generators for the delivery of helium gas plasma for cutting, coagulating soft tissue. The compatible Generators operate at an adjustable power of up to 40W (expressed as 0-100% is 40W) and provide an adjustable helium gas flow of 1-5 LPM. The Renuvion/J-Plasma Handpieces are available with a retractable cutting blade tip for excising tissue. The blade tip serves as an electrode to generate helium plasma.

The Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise devices are available in 15cm, 27cm and 33cm lengths for use in laparoscopic or open surgical procedures. The 27cm are standard lengths for laparoscopic instruments and are compatible with standard 5mm trocars.

The Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise Open devices are available in 44mm and 150mm for used in open surgical procedures.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise Handpiece and Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise Open Handpiece, intended for use with compatible electrosurgical generators for soft tissue cutting, coagulation, and ablation during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
