Electrosurgery has become one of the most widely utilized technologies available to surgeons. Doctors use electrosurgery in more than 80% percent of the cases that require surgery and across a variety of surgical specialties. Physicians use this prominent technology for routine wart, hair and spider vein removal performed in their offices, as well as for intricate transplant, orthopedic and open heart procedures performed in the operating room (OR).
Today, the Bovie brand has become one of the most recognized names in electrosurgery. Recently, the FDA approved the Bovie Ultimate™ Generator--the latest product in Bovie’s line of pioneering ESUs. The Bovie Ultimate Generator incorporates all of the standard electrosurgical modes of cut, blend, coagulation and bipolar and pairs it with helium plasma technology used in various speciality procedures and applications.
Here are three things to know about the Bovie Ultimate Generator:
1. State-of-the-Art Safety Features
One of the primary considerations during any electrosurgical procedure is patient safety
The Bovie Ultimate Generator includes the innovative Bovie NEM (Neutral Electrode Monitoring) technology. This pad-sensing system reduces the risk of pad burns. Other advanced safety features in Bovie’s newest product offering include:
-
The Common Sense error messaging which prevents misinterpretation and allows for quicker troubleshooting.
-
The unit requires the use of split pads only, which enhances patient safety.
-
Specialized modalities for laparoscopic and delicate procedures, which prevent capacitive coupling induced burns.
-
BovieFDFS™ tissue sensing technology measures the tissue 5 million times per second and adjusts to different impedances 5000 times per second for precise energy delivery.
-
A self-check upon power up of the unit.
2. OR Space Optimization
The Bovie Ultimate Generator offers the latest in digital technology. It provides the required power to operate your current electrosurgical units (ESUs), and can also be used to power the new J-PlasmaⓇ surgical device. This, essentially, reduces the space required for these two devices by nearly one-half.
3. Upgradeable Design
To ensure that you receive the optimal return on investment in this important piece of capital equipment, Bovie incorporated digitally controlled outputs and user interface in the design. These design features enable you to add new modes and keep the unit up-to-date. It also has multiple communication ports, which allows the Ultimate™ Generator to link up with other equipment. The Bovie Ultimate Generator also includes a new accessory connector for a future device.
The Bovie Ultimate™ Generator has the reliability that epitomizes the Bovie brand and comes with a Standard Four-Year Warranty.
