Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) Buyer's Guide
How to choose
The choice of electrosurgical machine depends on its principle of operation (argon plasma coagulator, electrocautery and electrosurgery) and its source of energy (ultrasonic surgical unit, radio or high-frequency surgical unit and molecular resonance surgical unit).
Applications
Electrosurgical units are surgical devices used in various departments such as pulmonology, urology, gynecology, gastroenterology and general surgery.
Argon plasma coagulation (APC), also known as argon photocoagulation, is a medical procedure that uses argon gas (argon plasma coagulator-type ESUs) to control bleeding from specific gastrointestinal lesions during colonoscopy or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Electrocautery is used for a variety of minor surgical procedures in dermatology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, plastic surgery and urology.
Ultrasound operating rooms are used primarily for laparoscopic procedures.
Radiofrequency surgical devices are typically used for dermatology, surgical and gynecological applications.
Molecular resonance devices are used in the fields of dermatology, otolaryngology, and orthognathic surgery.
What are the components of an electrosurgical unit?
An electrosurgical unit (ESU) usually consists of a generator and a handle with electrodes. It is controlled by a foot switch or a switch on the handle. The electrosurgical generator produces different electrical waveforms. These waveforms vary with the corresponding tissue effects.
What are the main modes of operation of electrosurgical devices?
Cutting and coagulation are performed in both unipolar and bipolar modes. In monopolar electrosurgery, the active electrode is located at the surgical site. The patient's return electrodes, also known as “distraction pads”, are located elsewhere in the body. In bipolar electrosurgery, both the active and return electrode functions are performed at the surgical site.
What is the difference between a cautery machine and an electrosurgical device?
In a cautery machine, tissue is cauterized or destroyed by using direct current to heat the electrodes placed on it, whereas in electrosurgery, alternating current will be used to cut (or coagulate) rather than cauterize the tissue. In addition, in electrosurgery, an electric current enters the patient's body as part of a circuit. Electrocautery involves allowing the electric current to pass through a heating element rather than into the patient's body, thereby heating the tissue directly.
What are the factors to consider when using electrosurgical equipment?
The handle must always be stowed in an insulated holster when not in use. Always set the generator to the lowest setting that will still produce the desired surgical effect. When higher voltages than necessary are used, the potential for arcing increases. If the surgeon continually requests higher settings, the integrity of the skin/dispersion pad interface may be compromised. Clean the electrode tip regularly. As crust (burned tissue) builds up on the tip, the electrical impedance rises, which can cause the crust to arc, spark, ignite, and burn. When cleaning the electrodes, sponges should be used rather than typical scouring pads, which can leave grooves in the electrodes.
What is an electrosurgical analyzer?
An electrosurgical analyzer is used to test the performance of high frequency electrosurgical units. Common tests performed on ESUs include output current, voltage, and power measurements, crest factor measurements, RF leakage measurements, return electrode current monitoring, and contact quality monitoring measurements.
What essential accessories are needed when selecting an electrosurgical unit?
Electrosurgical instrument pens and pencils, foot switches, medical carts and tables, cautery electrodes, grounding pads, and cautery forceps.
