electrode.
B.
Place the meat on a Neutral Plate.
C.
Insert a ball electrode into the Handpiece.
D.
Select COAG.
E.
Set the output power intensity to 10.
F.
Position the ball electrode in light contact with the beef.
G.
Depress the COAG Footswitch pedal or the Fingerswitch HEMO
button.
H.
Repeat the above procedure with power settings of 20, 30, & 40.
Contact should be 2 to 3 seconds.
A wide range of coagulation or blood control can be obtained by utilizing the partially
rectified modulated wave with different techniques. Bleeding should be stopped by some
form of direct manually applied pressure. When bleeding has momentarily stopped, final
sealing of the vessels can be accomplished by brief application of the partially rectified
modulated waveform.
There are two types of hemo electrodes: ball electrodes and thick needle
electrodes.
Bipolar: The Surgitron
®
Dual/EMC can be used for bipolar coagulation
procedures. The power should be lowered to 10 or 20 depending on the
procedure.
Do not attempt to operate with electrodes if the protective insulation is cracked or worn. In
the event that the brass is exposed, a shock or burn may be felt by the operator or patient.
