Bovie Medical Insights

I was thinking about my recent blog which mentioned Sleep Well 2013.  I indicated that I thought it was probably our best deal ever for the doctor.  That has been bouncing around in my head and after reflecting on it, there is no question, it is an ABSOLUTELY GREAT DEAL!  Our BEST DEAL EVER!  If we look closely at what we are offering, what do we see?  First, purchase an Aaron 940, 950 or 1250 and get a five year guarantee.  So for five years the doctor doesn’t need to worry about spending a penny on upkeep of the unit.  Truth of the matter, the products are so reliable that with or without the extended guarantee, odds are they won’t have a problem.  But if they also purchase one of the MI LED lights alongside an Aaron 940, 950 or 1250 THEN the guarantee on the units doubles from FIVE years to TEN YEARS!

Today there are two major players in the high frequency desiccator market, Bovie Medical Corporation with their Aaron 940 and Conmed Corporation with their Hyfrecator 2000.  These products are mainly used in dermatology and unlike an electrosurgical unit (ESU) they do not have the ability to cut tissue.  Clinically the Aaron 940 and the Hyfrecator do the exact same thing.  They desiccate, fulgurate or coagulate tissue and mainly deal with small skin  lesions, skin tags and the like.

So if they are clinically the same, what is the functional difference?  

The quick answer is that the Aaron 940 from Bovie is much more user friendly.  But since the blog headline is the "Top 3 Attributes of High Frequency Desiccators", let's look a little deeper.
