The Electrosurgical Unit, also known as electrosurgical unit, is a medical equipment that uses electrical phenomena that generate heat; in order to coagulate, fulgurate, dry or cut tissues, depending on the parameters established by the medical operator. The generation of heat is achieved through the passage of an oscillating electrical current, concentrated in a small area.
The importance of the use of electrosurgical units in the operating room is that these devices today are considered essential instruments in these places, because they produce precise incisions without the need to exert pressure on the tissues, as well as allow easy access to difficult or compromised areas, offer excellent comfort in lifting hypertrophic tissues, facilitate hemorrhage containment and healing of gingival tissues with correct use, and also prevent the infiltration of microorganisms in the incision line.
