Cutting edge technology has gotten even more sharply defined with big improvements over time to an old standby you're no doubt familiar with--the "Bovie." In reality, Bovie® is a registered trademark of Bovie Medical Corporation, but regardless of how you address it, to follow is a few facts you may not know.
It's not new.
Electrosurgery accessories have been in use over 85 years. The electrosurgical generator achieved major success with its first application in the operating room at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts on October 1, 1926.
The result was successful removal of a head tumor, with an important new level of control of blood loss from this highly vascular area. The electrosurgical generator has been in nearly constant use by surgeons and clinicians since that first critical success.
Like any technology, the electrosurgical unit ESU and accessories have not been without their challenges. But today's ESU and accessories are meeting the future with excellent results.
Small but crucial changes in the instruments since their first appearance have resulted in the surgeon's ability to:
-
cut more cleanly
-
induce effective coagulation and penetrate tissues with relative ease
-
insure more safety for the patient and staff.
With a surgeon's expert guidance, the unit's active electrode encounters little resistance on the leading edge of your incision, leaving you to apply your skill and precision to directing the instrument, instead of applying pressure such as you are required to do with a traditional stainless steel scalpel.
Plus, you are able to minimize preparation and recovery time for the patient, allowing you to perform more procedures with greater ease and less stress.
Today's units, such as the Aaron 1250, offer state of the art safety features to control--and in some cases, eliminate--traditional risks associated with both the ESU and its accessories.
Who can use the ESU and accessories?
In addition to standard operating rooms in the traditional hospital setting, outpatient clinics providing dermatology care, plastic surgery and ob/gyn are great candidates for this cutting edge technology.
Outpatient clinics are using electrosurgical accessories to achieve increased procedure success, lessen bleeding risk, and create greater patient confidence.
Electrosurgical accessories are at the leading edge of today's quality outpatient health care. The new stand alone units provide unique value with their portability, compact size, and manageable safety features.
Take a closer look at the Aaron 1250 with its exquisite precision-oriented array of capabilities designed to sharpen your practice. Your patients will thank you!
