What is high frequency desiccator?
What is high frequency desiccator?
The high frequency desiccator provides many applications for dermatologists and specialty practice doctors, and is ideal for most skin procedures and topical applications. Clinicians are able treat benign or malignant lesions very effectively with the Desiccator by heating and drying tissue and coagulating the surface.
What is a high frequency desiccator used for?
Among the modern electrosurgical tools available, the high frequency desiccator provides many applications for dermatologists and family physicians, most prominently for superficial skin procedures.
How does a high frequency desiccator work?
Desiccation works delivering electrical energy to tissue using a waveform that dehydrates the tissue causing a coagulation effect. This enables physicians to treat various malignant, pre-malignant or benign lesions in-office quickly and effectively.
What is a desiccator dermatology?
Bovie Derm High Frequency Desiccators are a cost effective solution for performing minor skin procedures and are designed for in office use. The Dermatology Desiccators offer 10 watts of monopolar power for desiccating and fulgurating soft tissue which can be adjusted in increments of 1/10 watts.
What is high frequency surgical equipment?
Among surgical equipment the electrosurgical devices are probably the most commonly used and also most useful. High frequency electrosurgery is a surgical technique related to Diathermy, which is a clinical method that uses high frequency electromagnetic currents for clinical therapy and has surgical applications.
What does a bovie do?
Bovie is the worlds largest producer of battery operated cauteries. They do their work with heat… fairly high heat at that. A Bovie electrosurgical unit or battery operated cautery, enables surgeons to select the optimal instrument for a specific procedure, providing the greatest potential for a successful outcome.
Are all desiccators made of glass?
Operation. In laboratory use, the most common desiccators are circular and made of heavy glass. There is usually a removable platform on which the items to be stored are placed. The desiccant, usually an otherwise-inert solid such as silica gel, fills the space under the platform.
What is the difference between monopolar and bipolar?
There is one basic difference between bipolar and monopolar techniques. With monopolar electrosurgery, a probe electrode is used to apply the electrosurgical energy to the target tissue to achieve the desired surgical effect. With the bipolar electrosurgical method a bipolar device, often a set of forceps, is used.
What is difference between cutting and coagulation?
Cut/Coag Most wet field electrosurgical systems operate in two modes: “Cut” causes a small area of tissue to be vaporized, and “Coag” causes the tissue to “dry” (in the sense of bleeding being stopped).
