Sutter Medizintechnik GmbH products

In addition to the reusable RaVoR™ bipolar electrodes used successfully in the market for more than 15 years, Sutter also offers a disposable version. Both the RaVoR™ bipolar electrodes for the inferior turbinates, single-use and the RaVoR™ bipolar electrodes for the soft palate, single-use offer the same benefits as their reusable counterparts.

RaVoR (Radiofrequency Volume Reduction) is an interstitial application for submucosal tissue shrinkage. Radiofrequency energy causes deliberate local lesions through the short and selective heating of certain tissue areas. The treated tissue is decomposed by the body‘s own immune system and transformed into fibrous scar tissue. This process leads to a shrinkage and stiffening of the treated area. Sutter has developed different bipolar electrodes for the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders based on the anatomical sites of obstruction.
