The Next Generation in Electrosurgery and Arthroscopic Tissue Ablation Technology
ORTHOPAEDIC PROCEDURE ELECTROSURGICAL SYSTEM
(OPES�)
The First "3-in-1" Electrosurgical System Flexibility
A comprehensive orthopaedic electrosurgical system that combines arthroscopic ablation, arthroscopic coagulation, open surgery monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery from one fully digital generator

The Arthrex Advantage
The Arthrex Orthopaedic Procedure Electrosurgical System (OPES) is the first of its kind completely digital platform designed to provide the surgeon and O.R. staff with greater flexibility and performance for arthroscopic as well as open surgical procedures.
Digital Technology and Patient Safety
The OPES generator was designed with patient safety as its highest priority. The completely digital generator provides efficient tissue cutting, coagulation and ablation at significantly reduced power settings. The Digital Error Detection (DED) and
Neutral Electrode Monitoring (NEM) ensure the highest level of patient safety.
Monopolar Ablation and Coagulation Probes
The OPES monopolar all-in-one disposable ablation probes provide greater ablation speed and efficiency while lowering the per procedure cost. For convenience, all probes are hand or foot controlled.
3-in-1 Electrosurgical System
With "3-in-1" system flexibility, the OPES Electrosurgical Generator is also capable of controlling a host of different instruments, including disposable monopolar arthroscopic electrodes, reusable and disposable monopolar open procedure pencils and tips, and reusable bipolar forceps. The need for three separate, costly and space-occupying electrosurgical generators is eliminated.
Electrosurgical Generator Compatibility
All OPES arthroscopic probes and electrodes can be used in conjunction with standard electrosurgical generators utilizing a 3-pin monopolar connection port. Another great option to eliminate multiple arthroscopic ablation boxes in the O.R.

OPES Electrosurgical Generator

The OPES Electrosurgical Generator utilizes Fast Digital Feedback System technology (FDFS). The generator can track changes in tissue impedance on a real time level 5000T/S. As tissue impedance varies, the power is automatically adjusted to deliver a constant clinical effect. The result is more efficient tissue cutting, coagulation and ablation at significantly lower power levels. Lower power levels produce lower heat to the tissue. The digital OPES generator raises the standard in electrosurgery and patient safety.
The OPES generator is equipped with ten blended cutting modes, allowing the user to select the most effective setting for their particular needs. During ablation, for instance, the blend settings provide higher voltage peaks for the most aggressive and consistent ablation with significantly less power than the pure cut waveform that is used in bipolar systems. The result is cleaner, cooler and safer tissue removal.
The OPES generator comes preprogrammed with ten power levels. These convenient, preset levels can be used in conjunction with recommended ablation probe power settings, or can be reprogrammed to levels to suit individual preferences. Cut, blend, coag and bipolar levels can be programmed.

Monopolar Ablation Probes and Ball Electrodes
With the comprehensive line of tissue ablation probes, the possibilities are endless. The raised ribbed geometry of the ablation probe tips provide the most efficient design for effective ablating while providing the tactile feel required by surgeons. The high quality ceramic and insulation, as well as a stiffer shaft, make these probes extremely durable and reliable.
The all-in-one handle, probe and cord design is an effective way to control "replacement costs" associated with other expensive, reusable components. The OPES assortment includes a number of tissue ablation/coagulation probes in aspirating and nonaspirating configurations.
The line of low profile probes is designed to fit through smaller diameter cannulas typically used in shoulder procedures. The suction port is positioned through the active electrode face for optimum visualization and ablation efficiency as tissue is drawn toward the active electrode.
The varying angled tips, electrode sizes and 130 mm shaft lengths offer the greatest number of choices resulting in optimal ablation control for procedure-specific use. All ablation probes may be used with hand or foot control, based on surgeon preference. With the foot control engaged, the hand control buttons become inactive for patient safety.
