2 G3 WORKSTATION

The G3 WorkStation provides precise delivery and control of PK
Technology for head and neck surgical procedures. In addition
to PlasmaCision, the G3 supports TCRFTM (Temperature­Controlled Radio Frequency) for the Somnoplasty procedures.
As a result, one technology platform can be used for a growing
variety of surgical procedures, providing enhanced value and
versatility, now and in the future.
