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.

Yes, refurbished units from brands like Valleylab/Medtronic, ConMed, and Bovie can offer excellent performance when they are properly tested, calibrated, and serviced. At Equipped MD, each electrosurgical generator is inspected to meet safety standards and brought back to OEM specifications before it’s offered for sale.

Common accessories include electrosurgical pencils, grounding pads, bipolar forceps, and smoke evacuation devices. Purchasing compatible accessories through Equipped MD ensures seamless integration with your generator and helps maintain a safe, efficient operating room environment.
