Miniature Plasma Probe for Pediatric Urethral Strictures
Clinical Innovation
The plasma probe represents a breakthrough in pediatric endourology, featuring a 1.2mm flexible plasma tip specifically designed for delicate urethral reconstruction. Its MicroPulse™ technology delivers 0.8-1.5MHz adjustable frequency plasma, enabling precise tissue ablation while maintaining mucosal temperatures below 42°C to prevent stricture recurrence.
