The Bovie Medical Corporation is a pioneer and industry leading provider of quality electrosurgical generators and related surgical supplies. It is a company dedicated to innovative products with wide acceptance in the medical community.
One of the company's most essential and practical electrosurgical devices is the Aaron Suction Coagulator. The device serves two important functions that are critical to many surgical procedures. This device evacuates and cauterizes the site and does it either independently or simultaneously. The Aaron Suction Coagulator is a handheld device that is activated by hand or foot control depending on the model chosen, and is available with 8,10 or 12 French diameter evacuation tubing. The heart of the system is one of Bovie Medical’s advanced electrosurgical generators which provide the energy essential to complete the surgical process and provide safe cauterization. Safety for both the patient and for the doctor are important design elements of every electrosurgical generator used with the suction coagulator.
For the record, the term "suction coagulator" refers to the actual unit while "suction cautery" refers to an often used procedure. A suction coagulator, as described in the above description of an Aaron Suction Coagulator is an endoscopic electrosurgical unit complete with electrodes, that when applied to the source of the blood flow, will coagulate while evacuating the blood flow.
A High-Temperature Cautery is a hand held battery operated unit that employs a high temperature tip during surgery. The cautery tip will reach temperatures in excess of 2000℉ and must be used with due caution. It cannot be cleaned or sterilized and so is for single patient use. When disposing of the product the electrode tip and batteries must be removed to avoid any risk of accidental activation.
The Bovie family of medical products includes a full range of industry leading electrosurgical generators and high frequency desiccators with power options ranging from 40 to 300 watts of cutting power. Each unit is made to handle specific workloads while providing a physician with the options required to complete the tasks at hand. Safety is a foremost concern, not only for the patients, but for the doctor as well and is assured by the Bovie manufacturing process. Bovie devices have applications in operating rooms at hospitals and surgery centers. You will find them in use at ambulatory surgery centers and in many private doctor's offices and clinics.
Suction coagulators and an impressive selection of essential accessories which includes electrodes, pencils, smoke evacuators and LED lighting round out this very complete line of essential Bovie medical products.
