Bovie Medical Insights

Twenty fifteen was a great year for Bovie Medical Corporation! After a legacy of 89 successful years, we rebranded our company. As evidenced in 2015, Bovie is swiftly operating with precision to bring relevant healthcare solutions to our customers.  The transformation of our logo represents our acceleration and dedication towards this goal.

Like most medical practices, obstetric and gynecology offices are under increasing pressure to keep costs down, quality of care up and patient satisfaction on the rise.  In order to achieve this goal, doctors must be able to work efficiently, using top quality, consistently reliable tools. 

Electrosurgical procedures utilize high-frequency electrical currents to excise, coagulate and destroy various tissues. The energy can be delivered using monopolar or bipolar modalities. While both are effective, there are advantages to using one over the other, contingent on the procedure and the patient. Understanding the differences between the two will help you understand why either option may be preferable in a given situation.

Do you perform electrosurgical procedures in your family practice office?  No, we’re not talking about electrocautery.  Electrocautery in medical terminology is often misused as a synonym for electrosurgery, even by medical professionals.  Don’t confuse electrocautery with electrosurgery.

There are a number of different scopes that are used in the medical field, including microscopes, otoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, stethoscopes and, the not as popular, colposcopes.

Veterinary surgery has advanced beyond the traditional, conventional techniques, which focused on scalpels, for a myriad of surgical applications. Newer, energy-based techniques like electrosurgery have paved the way for faster and more efficient surgical procedures.

Finding the most efficient, effective electrosurgery tools to accommodate your busy, successful veterinary practice is never an easy task.  In addition, cost factors certainly have to be considered.  At Bovie Animal Health, we endeavor to make the process easier by offering quality, state of the art products at prices that don't hurt your bottom line.  With our latest animal health promotion event starting on July 1 and ending on September 30, 2015, you can purchase a new Bovie® and get accessories at no extra cost.  Both our Aaron® 1250-V and Aaron®1250-VS ESUs are included in this offer.

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).

Warts are annoying and unsightly, but modern medicine is constantly devising new ways to treat them.  Aside from chemical treatments, which can cause allergic reactions or blistering, physicians can rely on surgical methods with state-of-the-art devices to quickly and safely remove the growth.  In the past, a blade may have been the only choice for wart removal. Today’s devices offer options for electrosurgery, laser treatment, and cryotherapy.

The demand for electrosurgery is rising, not only in the United States, but in many other countries as well.  A recent Prnewswire report on a market research study indicates that the market demand for electrosurgery is set to grow to 4.0 billion by 2019.
