Coblation A low-temperature device for removing tonsils offers surgery with less lingering pain than tissue-burning techniques.

It's called Coblation. The device uses radio waves that turn a simple salt solution into a stream of powerfully charged ions. These ions don't get very hot. But they carry so much energy, they cut right through tissues.

It is a safe surgery especially when using new age tools like Coblation Wands or LASERs.
