Electrosurgery & Electrocautery

Electrosurgery and electrocautery (also called thermal cautery) are not synonymous. In electrosurgery, electrical energy, also called current, may be converted to heat energy. The heat produced this way is used in medical procedures to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or remove unusual growths. Electrocautery is a technique using high frequency to remove unwanted tissues, make incisions, or coagulate. This procedure was invented by Dr. Bovie.

Choose electrosurgery & electrocautery equipment based on the tissue effect required for your procedure. Our precision electrocautery machine delivers focused thermal energy for localized applications, while the electrosurgery unit uses electrical current to support controlled cutting and coagulation. WPI offers dependable systems developed for research environments where consistent performance matters. Before selecting a model, confirm tip compatibility. Then review whether the operating range suits your protocol. Explore WPI’s electrosurgery & electrocautery products to find equipment suited to your laboratory.
