Erbe, a leader in electrosurgery with over 100 years of experience, continues to innovate in the field with the introduction of its latest VIO® 3n electrosurgical generators. The new systems offer five unique configurations—Fire, Water, Metal, Timber, and Stone—designed to address the specific needs of different surgical and endoscopic procedures. Each configuration comes with preprogrammed CUT, COAG, and dissection settings, aiming to enhance surgical efficiency and reduce operational complexity.
The VIO® 3n retains Erbe’s trusted electrosurgical modes, including endoCUT®, preciseSECT, and pulsedAPC, ensuring consistent tissue effects across a wide range of medical specialties. It also introduces a new mode, endoCUT® U, specifically designed for underwater applications, further expanding its versatility.
Beyond its precision in tissue effect adjustment, the VIO® 3n focuses on user-friendly functionality. Its interface, integrated with stepGUIDE, provides surgical teams with intuitive navigation and real-time notifications, simplifying both setup and operation. Additionally, the VIO® 3n is designed for seamless integration with other Erbe units, such as the APC 3 and IES 3, as well as a range of Erbe instruments and accessories, offering flexibility to adapt to existing medical workstations.
VIO® Seal: A Groundbreaking Solution for Bipolar Electrosurgery
Alongside the VIO® 3n, Erbe is introducing the VIO® seal, a specialized solution for bipolar electrosurgical procedures. Compatible with instruments such as TriSect rapide®, BiClamp®, and standard bipolar tools, the VIO® seal can function independently or in combination with the VIO® 3n, as well as older VIO® models like the D and S series. The unit features digital instrument recognition, ensuring smooth integration into existing surgical workflows.
A standout feature of the VIO® seal is its ability to enable simultaneous bipolar activation when paired with another VIO® generator, broadening the range of possible surgical applications.
Future-Proof Electrosurgical Solutions for Diverse Clinical Demands
With the launch of the VIO® 3n and VIO® seal, Erbe is solidifying its position as a comprehensive solution provider in the electrosurgery market. The new systems offer tailored configurations and high-performance workflows, backed by the reliable Erbe technology, to meet the evolving needs of various medical specialties.
“After more than a century of innovation in electrosurgery and over 100,000 VIO® generators sold, we are proud to introduce the VIO® 3n,” said Dr. Helmut Scherer, Chief Technology Officer of the Erbe Group. “This next-generation system builds upon the successful VIO® 3 operating concept, bringing it to new technological heights across a range of medical disciplines.”
The VIO® 3n and VIO® seal will be available in CE-marked markets and CE-related countries starting in April 2025.
