Valleylabs Force 2 Electrosurgical Generator
Location – Ambulatory Care
Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency electric current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate (dry out), or fulgurate (destroy tumor) tissue. Its benefits include the ability to make precise cuts with limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices are frequently used during surgical operations helping to prevent blood loss in hospital operating rooms or in outpatient procedures.
In electrosurgical procedures, alternating current from an electrical source called an electrosurgery generator directly heats the tissue in order to effect the above procedures.
Electrosurgery is commonly used in dermatological, gynecological, cardiac, plastic, ocular, spine, ENT, orthopedic, urological, neuro- and general surgical procedures.
Electrosurgery is performed using an electrosurgical generator (also referred to as power supply or waveform generator) and a handpiece including one or several electrodes, sometimes referred to as an RF Knife. The apparatus when used for coagulation in surgery is still often referred to informally by surgeons as a "Bovie," after the inventor.
