Electronic scalpel Elektrotom 80B

Martin & Bercthold ELEKTROTOM 80B Electrosurgical Unit: Reliability and Precise Control for Surgical Procedures.

The Martin & Bercthold ELEKTROTOM 80B electronic scalpel is a versatile electrosurgical solution designed for a wide range of medical specialties, including maxillofacial surgeons, ENT specialists, gynecologists, dermatologists, dentists, and more. This unit offers a high-frequency output power of 80W, enabling the application of various electrosurgical techniques in private practices and outpatient clinical departments.

The operation of the ELEKTROTOM 80B is convenient and intuitive, with several currents of different characteristics ensuring its universal application. In addition to the unmodulated current for smooth incision and contact coagulation, a weakly modulated current is available for cutting with scab formation, along with strongly modulated current and high crest factor for spray coagulation or coagulation with cutting electrodes. Clearly arranged control elements, signal lamps, and acoustic signals of different radio frequencies facilitate adjustment and operation of the unit.

The operating surgeon has the option of activating the different types of current either with the double foot pedal switch or remote manual control via the double finger switch located on the electrode handle. Furthermore, by pressing a push button switch equipped with an indicator lamp, the unit can be switched from modulated to unmodulated current. A rotary potentiometer provides continuously adjustable intensity control, which can be easily set and reproduced as needed. These combined features offer the surgeon precise flexibility and control during electrosurgical procedures.

When switching to undulatory current, a compensating circuit prevents uncontrolled modification of intensity control, adding an extra layer of safety to the device. This feature helps maintain consistent power delivery, reducing the likelihood of unintentional changes during critical procedures.

A unique range of features distinguishes the ELEKTROTOM 80B as a top model in its class. With bipolar coagulation as a further possibility of application, surgeons have the capability to work within precisely defined regions. The special design of the bipolar instrument helps prevent unintended spreading to neighboring areas of tissue or nerve tracts, ensuring precise and controlled coagulation.

Options for switching on current for bipolar coagulation are provided by the Berchtold BI-CO-MATIC manual or single foot pedal switch, offering flexibility in surgical technique. Clearly designated connections for cables and foot pedal switches help prevent possible operating errors, further enhancing safety and ease of use in the operating room.

The MICRO-MACRO circuit enables highly accurate power settings by providing power ranges with a maximum output of either 30W or 80W. This level of precision ensures that surgeons can tailor the energy delivery to suit the specific requirements of each procedure. Importantly, all control elements and safety features listed for the ELEKTROTOM 80 are also provided in the same form for the ELEKTROTOM 80B, ensuring consistent performance and safety across both models.

One of the key advantages of the BI-CO-MATIC circuit is its ability to regulate current flow gradually. After a specified delay period, the circuit slowly increases current, compensating for the decreasing tissue resistance encountered in the initial stages of coagulation. This gradual increase helps prevent excessive current flow, reducing the risk of tissue damage and minimizing the "stick effect" often associated with traditional coagulation methods.

By eliminating sudden surges of current and maintaining a steady, controlled flow, the BI-CO-MATIC circuit enhances the overall effectiveness of bipolar coagulation. Surgeons can achieve precise hemostasis with minimal tissue trauma, leading to improved surgical outcomes and patient safety.
