Monopolar diathermy: 2 instruments, 1 hand.
Diathermy entails the implementation of high-frequency electrical currents to produce heat and either make incisions or induce coagulation. Monopolar cautery involves disposable cautery pencils and electrosurgical diathermy units. In typical monopolar cautery, an electrical plate is placed on the patient's skin and acts as an electrode, while the current passes between the instrument and the pl...
متن کاملA randomised two-way comparison of mastectomy performed using harmonic scalpel or monopolar diathermy.
The purpose of this study was to perform an overall evaluation and comparison of the success rate of modified radical mastectomy by harmonic scalpel and monopolar electrocauter The prospective study included all of the patients that were planned for and mastectiomized because of breast carcinoma during July 1st 2008 until December 21st 2008 at the Department of Surgery and Urology, University H...
متن کاملHand-Held Force Magnifier for Surgical Instruments
We present a novel and relatively simple method for magnifying forces perceived by an operator using a tool. A sensor measures the force between the tip of a tool and its handle held by the operator’s fingers. These measurements are used to create a proportionally greater force between the handle and a brace attached to the operator’s hand, providing an enhanced perception of forces between the...
متن کاملComparison of lateral thermal spread using monopolar and bipolar diathermy, and the bipolar vessel sealing system ThermoStapler™ during thyroidectomy.
UNLABELLED Electric devices enabling the maintenance of haemostasis during surgery have found application in modern thyroidectomy procedures. The haemostatic effect is associated with generation of heat, which apart from the intended result may bring about thermal tissue injury. The aim of the study was to determine the thermal spread around the active tip of electric devices in the operating f...
