The electrosurgical unit is a medical equipment capable of transforming electrical energy into heatto cut or coagulate tissues and cauterize them simultaneously, using currents that develop at high frequencies usually above 200,000 Hz. In other words, this equipment is responsible for generating high-frequency alternating current from low-frequency electrical currents, with the aim of achieving a desired thermal effect on a biological tissue..
The use of this new electronic equipment considerably reduces tissue bleeding and produces very little thermal damage, which in turn translates into a remarkable time saving. It also allows effective asepsis by reducing the likelihood of transmitting infections from diseased tissues to healthy tissues.
