Arthrex cool cut VAPR - Lindsey
Posted: Jul 02, 2010
Hi, I have an ortho report for impingement syndrome of the shoulder. He says that he used a combination of arthroscopic shaver and Arthrex cool cut VAPR to remove tissue. I cannot find this cool cup VAPR anywhere. Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks!
That's a tough one because they're two brand names - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Arthrex CoolCut is their radiofrequency device, and DePuy's is called the VAPR. Maybe MD didn't know which he had in his hand so he was covering his bases, or maybe the CoolCut is so new the MD was just naming both as sort-of a clarification. If it were me, and this is just an opinion, I might be inclined to type Arthrex CoolCut/VAPR. It could be that like Kleenex, they don't necessarily think of VAPR as a brand name and just use it to apply to generic RFA electrodes.
thank you - Lindsey
[ In Reply To ..]I couldn't even find the CoolCut online or in my book, so I was very confused. That clears it up a little, and I'm sure you're right. He had to ask whoever was there with him what it was called, so he probably just added the VAPR in there. Thanks a lot!

This morning, from this very forum, I learned the term "exenteration" and added it to my glossary... and used it for the first time in a report, to-day. Buried in some ADT this morning I just happened to notice the name of a *fantastic* dictator I knew from 3 years ago at a completely different MTSO. Maybe I'll get some of her reports again... I googled a phrase and the only reference was to an article the dictator himself wrote. Easy A. So, I hope I haven't reached my aweso ...

There is a scene in it which reminds me of working for MM. Strother Martin is explaining to Paul Newman what happens for infractions of the rules... Do this, "In the box." Do that, "In the box."
