Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MODEL: Electrosurgical Unit PT300A

The device pictured is a PT-300A electrosurgical unit, also known as a diathermy or electrocautery machine. It is a medical device used in surgery to cut tissue and control bleeding by using high-frequency electrical current.

Key Features and Functions:

• Monopolar and Bipolar Modes: The unit features both monopolar and bipolar functions to accommodate various surgical needs.
  • Monopolar Surgery: Current travels from the handpiece, through the patient’s body to a separate return electrode (grounding pad), and back to the generator. This is used for general and larger area procedures.
  • Bipolar Surgery: The current is contained within the tips of a specialized instrument (like forceps), passing only through the tissue grasped between them. This offers precise control, less tissue damage, and is safer for patients with implanted devices like pacemakers.
• Multiple Operating Modes: The machine offers several modes for different surgical effects:
  • Cut Modes: Include PURE (clean cut) and BLEND (cut with varying levels of hemostasis, or bleeding control).
  • Coagulation Modes: Include SOFT, FORCED, and SPRAY (coagulating a wider area with superficial effect).
  • Bipolar Modes: Dedicated settings for precise bipolar cutting and coagulation.
• Power Output: The unit has a maximum output of around 300W for monopolar cutting.
• Safety Features: It includes a return electrode monitoring system (REM) to continuously check the contact quality with the patient’s skin, which deactivates the generator if a fault is detected, minimizing the risk of patient burns.
• Applications: The device is suitable for a wide range of surgical applications, including general surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, urology, and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) procedures.
