NCT ID NCT07635719
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare new, single-use coblator wands with reprocessed (cleaned and reused) wands in 30 children having tonsil or adenoid surgery. The main goal is to see if surgeons are just as comfortable using the reprocessed wands. The study also looks at technical issues and environmental costs. If reprocessed wands work well, they could reduce waste and save money.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Coblator ablation wand (device)
What this could lead to
If reprocessed wands work as well as new ones, this could reduce medical waste and lower costs for common surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (30 patients) that only measures surgeon comfort, not patient outcomes. Reprocessed wands might not perform identically in all cases.
