What is Electrosurgery?

Electrosurgery is a surgical technique that utilizes high-frequency electrical current to cut, coagulate, or destroy tissue during surgical procedures. It involves the use of an electrosurgical unit which delivers controlled electrical energy through a specialized handpiece or electrode.

The electrical current heats the tissue, causing various effects depending on the mode and settings used, such as cutting through tissue, coagulating blood vessels to stop bleeding, or ablating tissue. Electrosurgery is commonly used across various surgical specialties, including general surgery, dermatology, gynecology, and urology, for procedures like tissue dissection, hemostasis, tumor removal, and cosmetic surgery. It offers advantages such as precise tissue control, reduced blood loss, and improved surgical efficiency.

Necessary Components of Electrosurgery

MFI carries complete electrosurgical kits with all the necessary components, but also carries individual components in both certified refurbished and factory new conditions.

Generator

Electrosurgery relies on generators, such as Hyfrecators or Desiccators, to produce and channel electricity for surgical procedures. These generators come in various sizes tailored to specific surgical needs. For instance, in dermatological procedures, small high-frequency desiccators effectively remove skin defects with precision. Conversely, larger electrosurgical generators are employed in operating rooms to remove tissues, offering the advantage of minimal blood loss.

The versatility in generator sizes underscores the adaptability of electrosurgery across diverse medical contexts, from delicate skin procedures to complex surgeries, facilitating improved patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.

Smoke Evacuation

In the course of an electrosurgical procedure, the burning of tissue emits an unpleasant odor and releases potentially harmful fumes or smoke. To maintain a safe and comfortable environment, it is essential to utilize a smoke evacuator. These devices are specifically engineered to extract noxious odors and plumes, including carbon dioxide and biological hazards, from the air. By swiftly capturing these emissions as they arise during the procedure, smoke evacuators effectively cleanse the treatment area, ensuring a more pleasant experience for both the patient and the medical team. They play a crucial role in safeguarding against the inhalation of harmful substances and maintaining optimal working conditions in the operating room.
