Where electrosurgical unit are Used?

Alternative technologies and methods replace traditional medicine in modern ORs. Electrosurgical devices are more and more often used instead of the usual scalpels. Surgeries, for which such equipment is used, are less painful and traumatic and the patients recover faster.
Usage of electrosurgical equipment facilitates the work of the doctors, making the surgery simpler. In addition, the patients recover faster and there’s no visible scars after surgical interventions. The field of application of the equipment depends on versatility of the chosen device. For example, versatile devices are used in general surgery. Such equipment has a large set of instruments, many modes and high power.
Specialized devices are complemented with accessories, which can only be used for specific surgical manipulations. They differ from general devices in special load characteristics and precise regulations. Such devices are used only in specific branches of surgery. These are simple devices, which are cheaper and less reliable as compared to versatile analogs.

Types of electrosurgical unit

The electrosurgery equipment is classified according to a whole range of parameters. In general, it is subdivided into:

1. Laser surgical coagulators. The operation principle is based on focused laser radiation. During tissue section, a special coagulation film is created. It stops blood loss and prevents bacteria from penetrating the body. When working with these devices, it is necessary to choose the right power of impact to avoid burns.
2. Radio wave surgical coagulators. They are used for tissue section with the help of high-frequency radio waves. Their impact causes cell vaporization. These are the most popular electrosurgical devices.
3. Ultrasound surgical coagulators. Their operation principle is based on mechanical oscillations in ultrasound range. Possibility of burns is reduces to a minimum when this equipment is used. Less evident postoperative swelling is one more advantage.
4. High-frequency electrosurgical devices. They can be of bi- or monopolar structure. In the former case, one electrode is connected to the patient. In the latter, the electrodes are connected to the electric scalpel. As a result, only a small skin area is under the impact of electrical current.
