About
ArthroCare Corporation was an American medical device company founded in 1993, initially based in Sunnyvale, California, and later headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company specialized in developing and manufacturing advanced medical products utilizing its proprietary Coblation technology. This technology employs radiofrequency energy to dissolve targeted soft tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. ArthroCare's product line included Coblation systems for arthroscopic surgery, spine surgery, and Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) procedures. The company also received FDA approval for using Coblation technology in facial resurfacing and wrinkle reduction. Their offerings featured single-use Coblation wands and reusable control devices, which allowed surgeons to trial the technology during procedures. ArthroCare primarily targeted surgeons and hospitals focused on arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgeries, particularly in sports medicine, where faster recovery times and reduced pain were highly valued.
