TC 3000 - F care systems

TC 3000thermocoagulatorThe technique behind the TC 3000?The TC 3000 utilizes revolutionary unipolar thermocoagulation technology to heat the vein and make it coagulate.By generating high frequency heat energy via the tip of an ultra-fine insulated needle, the TC 3000causes vein walls to collapse and disappear. Because the needle is insulated and the amount of power administeredcan be adjusted, the treatment is localized and does not affect the surrounding tissue. Althoughelectrocoagulation also uses a needle, the TC 3000 thermocoagulator is profoundly different in that thereis no risk of scarring or bruising and no need for anesthesia. Electrocoagulation provokes a chemical burn,causing increased pain and discomfort, and it also results in increased risk for scarring and discoloration.D-COM-TC3e-06.indd 1 29/02/2012 10:39:34

Clinical StudiesDr. Jean-Luc RichardFlebologist, Hospital Europeen GeorgesPompidou, ParisPrecise ControlThe generator is used to control the pulse and power settings via a remote control. As the duration of the pulse can be setfrom 0.1 to 1.0 seconds in 0.1 second steps, the pulse power can be selected in 5 % steps. The combination of both settingsallows for very precise control over the amount of energy administered per treatment.SafetyBy heating only the tip of the ultra-fine insulated needle, the skin will not be damaged nor will there be any burning orchanges in pigmentation. Although the pulse and power settings can be adjusted per treatment, depending on the size andcolor of the vein, for this technology we use Ballet needles: K2i, K3i and K6i . While the K2i and K3i needles are suitable forthe treatment of veins on the face, the K6i needle is suitable for treating veins situated on the legs.Indications• Spider veins and telangiectasia (up to 1.0 mm diameter)• Rosacea• Petechia• Cherry angiomaNo side effects:The TC 3000 delivers instant and visible results with no side effects. Because of the constant, controllable power andlimited skin contact, there is no scarring, necrosis, or burning or changes in pigmentation.A TC 3000 session in three easy steps1. Desinfect the skin2. Tent the skin by touching the tip of the needle perpendicular to the vein3. Apply an energy pulse every 2 to 3 mmThere are two present programs: varicose veins and rosacea.Result: 40 to 80 cm of veins in 10 to 15 minutes.Dr. Jean-Marc ChardonneauFlebologist, NantesDr. Jean-Luc Richard has published the results of a clinical trial of the TC 3000 and thermocoagulation. The results of thisstudy revealed that the thermocoagulation technique is safe, reliable, and without lasting side effects when used fortreating spider veins and telangiectasia.Dr. Jean-Marc Chardonneau conducted several studies between March 1999 and January 2005.Based on over 7,000 sessions, the results confirm:• Effective for all vein problems, especially those with a diameter of less than 0.9 mm and cannot be treated with sclerocompression therapy.• Over 80 % of veins are permanently removed when the correct protocol is followed.• The treatment is suitable for all skin types.• No adverse side effects, except for temporary micro scabs when treating the legs.• No scarring, necrosis, burning or changes in pigmentation.The AdvantagesFor patients• No pain and minimal discomfort• No elastic stockings or bandages required• Immediate and permanent results• No seasonal limitation due to sun exposure• Can be used on any skin typeFor physicians• Safe, reliable and effective• Easy to use• Direct result, as each vein typically needs only one treatment (including the legs)• No risk of an allergic reaction• No discoloration or changes in pigmentation• Can be used to treat all kinds of vein problems• Can be used on all body parts, including sensitive areas such as the face, ankles and knees• Can be used on its own or to compliment other treatments such as sclerotherapy• Affordable, with a very low maintenance costD-COM-TC3e-06.indd 2-3 29/02/2012 10:39:53
