What is the force Triad?

What is the force Triad?

“The Force Triad™ energy platform is a full-featured electrosurgical system that provides electrosurgical cutting and coagulation, bipolar functionality, and vessel sealing in a single generator.”

What is Valleylab mode?

Valleylab mode is a unique combination of hemostasis and dissection that allows the user to slow down for more hemostasis and speed up for faster dissection. The thermal spread is equal to or less than cut or blend modes.

What is electrosurgical generator?

An electrosurgical unit (ESU) consists of a generator and a handpiece with one or more electrodes. The device is controlled using a switch on the handpiece or a foot switch. Electrosurgical generators can produce a variety of electrical waveforms. As these waveforms change, so do the corresponding tissue effects.

What is a LigaSure device?

LigaSure is a bipolar clamping device used in open and laparoscopic surgeries for producing haemostasis in vascular pedicles up to 7 mm in diameter (“Covidien LigaSure technology: consistent, reliable, trusted vessel sealing,” 2012). LigaSure was used for securing haemostasis and tissue dissection.

What is cautery pencil?

Electrosurgical pencil a.k.a. Cautery Pencil is a medical device used to fulgurate, coagulate, cut or dissect biological tissue by the applying electric current. It uses Radio Frequency Alternating Current or RFAC. ESU Pencils give surgeons the ability to control cutting and coagulation settings by buttons or switches.

What is electrosurgical coagulation?

Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) alternating polarity, electrical current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. (These terms are used in specific ways for this methodology—see below).

How does a LigaSure device work?

LigaSure vessel sealing technology works by applying a precise amount of bipolar energy and pressure to fuse the collagen and elastin in the vessel walls. It effectively seals vessels 1 to 7 mm in diameter with minimal sticking, charring, or thermal spread.

What is the use of cautery pencil?

Electrosurgical pencils, also known as cautery pencils are used during electrosurgery procedures. They are used to cut biological tissue and control bleeding through Radio Frequency Alternating Current (RFAC).
