A comparison of the efficacy and depth of gastric wall injury with 3.2- and 2.3-mm bipolar probes in canine arterial hemorrhage.
A comparison of the small (2.3 mm) and large (3.2 mm) ACM bipolar electrocoagulation probes is reported. The 3.2-mm probe was significantly more effective in controlling canine arterial hemorrhage, and the histological depth of injury following coagulation was not significantly different for the two probes.
