For over 85 years the medical profession has turned to electrosurgery to assist with difficult surgical procedures. In its first successful run (Oct. 1, 1926), Dr. Bovie, PhD, and Dr. Cushing, MD, used an electrosurgical generator to assist in the removal of a tumor. Dr. Cushing noted: "...with Dr. Bovie's help I proceeded to take off most satisfactorily the remaining portion of the tumor with practically none of the bleeding which was occasioned in the preceding operation."
