Usage
- Surgical Cutting: Surgeons use the electrosurgical pencil for precise cutting of tissue during various surgical procedures, including incisions, excisions, and tumor removals.
- Coagulation: It is employed for coagulation tasks to control bleeding by sealing blood vessels or tissue, minimizing blood loss during surgery.
- Tissue Ablation: The pencil is used for tissue ablation, which involves the removal or destruction of abnormal or diseased tissue, often in cases like warts or lesions.
- Electrocautery: It facilitates electrocautery procedures, which use electrical current to heat tissue and achieve hemostasis (stoppage of bleeding).
- Electrosurgical Dissection: Surgeons can perform precise dissection using the pencil, separating tissues and structures with minimal damage to surrounding areas.
- Hemostasis: It aids in achieving hemostasis in vascular and non-vascular surgeries, ensuring blood vessels are sealed to prevent excessive bleeding.
- Tissue Manipulation: The electrosurgical pencil can be used to manipulate tissue during surgeries, assisting in better visualization and access to surgical sites.
- Electrosurgical Units: It is an integral component of electrosurgical units commonly used in operating rooms and surgical centers.
