What is the Difference between High-Frequency Electrocautery and Electrocoagulation?
Simply put, it is a surgical knife that generates a high-voltage current at the end of the electric knife pen through the device, which instantly heats the tissue and thus plays a cutting role.
For high-frequency electrocautery, the basic functions are electrocautery and electrocoagulation. It is easy to understand that electrocautery plays the cutting role of a surgical knife, because bleeding occurs during cutting, so electrocoagulation is the coagulation function, which is so simple.
Let's take a closer look at the difference between electrocautery and electrocautery, combined with the CM-350 high-frequency electrocautery:
The working modes of CM-350 high-frequency electric knife are divided into pure cut, blend cut1, blend cut2, spray coagulation, and soft coagulation.
Pure cutting: Pure cutting function
Mixed cutting: It not only has the cutting function but also the coagulation function, in simple terms, it plays a role in reducing bleeding during cutting.
Spray coagulation: a type of electrocoagulation that deals with larger bleeding areas. If there is a small bleeding point, spot coagulation can be used.
In addition, different output powers can be selected in different working modes, which can be adjusted on the equipment. The specific output power to be selected depends on different surgical and clinical needs.
