An electrosurgical generator is a medical device that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut tissue or coagulate blood during surgical procedures. It converts electrical energy into a form that can be safely applied to the body, allowing surgeons to perform precise incisions while minimizing bleeding. These generators are commonly used in various surgical specialties, including orthopedics, gynecology, and general surgery. They work by delivering controlled bursts of energy through specialized instruments, such as electrosurgical pencils or forceps, ensuring effective and efficient surgical outcomes while reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
