Paragon T2 in Action
Paragon T2®

The Only Bipolar Radiofrequency Wand Clinically Designed for Articular Cartilage


The Paragon T2 ArthroWand has a tip and electrode design based on more than 5 years of published scientific research on the application of bRF-based energy on articular cartilage. The Wand provides real-time visual indication of optimal surgical technique and local environmental conditions at the electrode tissue surface. Paragon T2 ArthroWand uses effective low temperature (45-55°C) controlled ablation resulting in less than 150 microns of damage to residual articular cartilage tissue1.


Paragon T2 ArthroWand Features
  • Band of temperature sensitive material transitions from blue to white at 50°C (+/-5°)
  • Ultra fine tungsten electrode requires lower power for plasma formation
  • Circular electrode design provides multidirectional ablation
