Valleylab™ Suction Coagulators

Reducing the potential for oral burns

The proprietary design of the Cool Zone lowers the
shaft temperature as compared to existing Valleylab™
suction coagulators and may reduce the potential
for oral burns.

Inadvertent thermal injuries during routine
otolaryngology procedures can result from inadequate
device insulation.1

The shaft temperature of the Valleylab™ suction
coagulator is lower than that of the competitive
devices evaluated (see chart below).2,3
