McGan’s Electrosurgical Integrity Testers: Preventing Inadvertent Tissue Burns
Electrosurgical instruments are used in a variety of medical procedures, including surgery, cauterization, and ablation. These instruments work by sending an electrical current through the tissue, which causes the tissue to heat up and coagulate.
However, if the insulation on an electrosurgical instrument is damaged, the electrical current can leak out and cause an inadvertent tissue burn. This can be a serious safety hazard, and it can lead to serious injury or death.
McGan’s Electrosurgical Integrity Testers are designed to help prevent inadvertent tissue burns by detecting and locating defects in the insulation of electrosurgical instruments. These testers use a low-frequency high voltage generator to create a spark between the instrument and the tester. If the insulation is damaged, the spark will cause a visible and audible alarm to sound.
McGan’s Electrosurgical Integrity Testers are a valuable tool for ensuring the safety of electrosurgical procedures. By detecting and locating defects in the insulation, these testers can help to prevent inadvertent tissue burns and protect patients from serious injury.
