FAQs
Electrosurgery generators deliver controlled electrical energy to cut, coagulate, and seal tissue with precision. They help reduce blood loss, shorten procedure time, and support a wide range of surgical specialties, from general surgery to orthopedics and OB/GYN.
Key considerations include power modes, waveform options, tissue-sensing technology, and compatibility with accessories such as pencils, grounding pads, and smoke evacuation systems. It’s also important to match the generator’s performance to your surgical volume and case types so the system can handle your busiest OR days.
Monopolar mode uses a single active electrode with a return pad and is ideal for cutting and broad coagulation across a wider area. Bipolar mode delivers energy between the two tips of an instrument, offering more localized control and reducing the risk of unintended thermal spread, especially useful in delicate or confined surgical fields.
