Erbe introduces FiAPC® plus: Advancing control in flexible argon plasma coagulation
Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH presents its latest innovation in electrosurgery: the FiAPC® plus probes. They are designed for use in gastrointestinal and pulmonary endoscopy.

Various versions of the FiAPC® plus probes with axial, lateral and circumferential openings available.
Designed to put control in the physician’s hands
With the FiAPC® plus probes, Erbe seeks to give physicians greater control over every aspect of the APC application: from energy delivery and beam formation to tip positioning and suction. "Precision in APC begins with control. And that’s exactly what FiAPC® plus is built to provide," Mariuccia Zambelli, Vice President Global Marketing, stated.
The new probes feature a thermally insulated tip, developed to minimize heat generation at the distal end of the instrument. This reduces tissue sticking and allows for a homogenous and consistent plasma beam, even in complex anatomies.
Versatility for GI and pulmonary applications
The FiAPC® plus probes are available in various versions with axial, lateral and circumferential openings for the plasma beam, offering physicians options that align with a wide range of clinical applications. The probes are compatible with Erbe’s full range of renowned APC modes - preciseAPC®, pulsedAPC® (slow and fast), and forcedAPC® - which can be selected to choose the right tissue effect for the corresponding tissue characteristics.
The FiAPC® plus probes unfold their full potential in combination with the APC 3 and the new VIO® 3n Fire electrosurgical generator, specifically dedicated to APC applications. The platform's architecture ensures seamless integration, fast recognition, and preconfigured APC mode settings tailored to the FiAPC® plus probe, resulting in enhanced workflow efficiency, precision, and user confidence.
Reliable performance in thermosensitive areas across specialties
While the FiAPC® plus probes are designed for a broad range of APC indications, their value becomes especially clear in procedures involving thermosensitive areas, whether in the gastrointestinal tract or the bronchial system. In areas such as the cecum, right colon, or narrow airways, where precision and limited thermal spread are essential, FiAPC® plus offers reliability and control through stable plasma ignition, reduced tissue sticking, and optimized energy delivery at the probe tip.
To support GI endoscopists and pulmonologists in applying APC, Erbe complements the launch of FiAPC® plus with a comprehensive offering of clinical education and training. This includes hands-on courses, structured learning modules, and on-site support through the Erbe Team: helping physicians navigate their APC journey from first use to expert application.
FiAPC® plus probes are now available in CE and CE-related markets. Additional markets will follow soon. With this latest development, Erbe reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of APC technology through user-centered innovation and clinical partnership.

CSC Research Finds 40% of Enterprises Could Be at Risk of an Outage Due to SSL Expiration14.7.2025 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Domain control validation sunsets on July 15, 2025, putting many companies that rely on WHOIS email at risk for service disruption New research fromCSC, an enterprise-class domain security provider and world leader in domain management, SSL management, brand protection, and anti-fraud solutions, indicates that as many as 40% of enterprises are at risk of unexpected service outages caused by out-of-date secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates. This threat stems from the reliance on WHOIS-based email addresses for domain control validation (DCV) that will be officially deprecated on July 15, 2025. CSC analyzed over 100,000 global SSL certificate records and found that many organizations still use WHOIS email as their primary method for domain control validation, despite a 2024 vote by the CA/Browser Forum that mandates the deprecation of WHOIS-based validation due to its associated security vulnerabilities. After July 15, 2025, certificate authorities (CAs) will no longer accept WHOIS em
