1. Introduction of Electrosurgical Devices Market Types
Bipolar: Electrosurgical instruments can be roughly divided into two categories: monopolar and bipolar. These describe the path of the electrical current during surgery. Bipolar electrosurgery uses lower voltages so less energy is required. Bipolar electrosurgery eliminates the need for a dispersal pad. The electrosurgical instrument itself has an active electrode and a return electrode. These are usually the tips of a pair of forceps or scissors. Importantly, only the tissue between the instrument is affected by this circuit. This means that bipolar electrosurgery presents a decreased risk of burns. However, a bipolar configuration may limit the ability of tools to cut or coagulate when compared to monopolar electrosurgery, limiting its uses.
Monopolar: In monopolar electrosurgery, the active electrode is applied to patient tissue. The electrical current passes through the patient to a dispersal pad which is connected to the electrosurgical generator, where it is safely dissipated. Monopolar electrosurgery is the most commonly used electrosurgery modality due to its versatility, clinical effectiveness, and wider tissue effects. But it does present risks of burns due to equipment or operator malfunction. It may also be dangerous for patients with certain pacemakers or prosthetic devices.

5. Introduction of Electrosurgical Devices Market Applications
General Surgery: General surgery includes a core knowledge of anatomy, physiology, metabolism, immunology, nutrition, pathology, wound healing, and other areas common to all surgical specialties. General surgeons have specialized knowledge and experience related to diagnosis and preoperative, operative, and postoperative management. General surgeons treat diseases related to the abdomen, breast, head and neck, blood vessels, digestive tract, injuries, deformities, and other conditions.
Gynecology Surgery: Gynecology surgery includes any surgical procedure that involves the organs and structure of the female pelvic region: the uterus, ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes, vagina and vulva. Women may need surgery from an OB-GYN at different times in their lives for many different reasons. A younger woman may need ovarian cysts or fibroids removed to be able to get pregnant. An older woman may need a hysterectomy. Surgery can be used to address pelvic pain from endometriosis and abnormal bleeding in the uterine cavity. Surgery may be also needed to remove a failed pregnancy or to prevent another pregnancy from happening. Gynecological cancer is another common reason for surgery.
Urologic Surgery: Urology is a part of health care that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). It also deals with the male organs that can make babies (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.). Since health problems in these body parts can happen to everyone, urologic health is important. Urologic surgery focuses on operations of the urinary tract and the reproductive system. Urologic surgery treats conditions of male reproductive organs, such as prostate cancer; male and female urinary tract, such as kidney or bladder cancer.
Orthopedic Surgery: Orthopedic surgery is a procedure on your musculoskeletal system. It can diagnose, treat, repair, and prevent conditions that affect your bones, muscles, and joints. Once devoted to the care of children with spine and limb deformities, orthopedists now care for patients of all ages, from newborns with club feet to young athletes requiring arthroscopic surgery to older people with arthritis. And anybody can break a bone at any age. Common types of orthopedic surgery are ACL surgery and knee replacement surgery.
Cardiovascular Surgery: Cardiovascular surgery describes any surgical procedure that involves the heart, or the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart. These procedures are common with patients who have heart disease or have had a heart attack, stroke, or blood clot—as well as individuals who are at high risk for developing these problems. While cardiovascular surgery isn’t always necessary to treat heart problems, doctors may recommend it for a variety of reasons, including treating or preventing heart attacks and blood clots, addressing irregular heartbeats, opening blocked or narrowed arteries, repairing congenital heart problems, and fixing damaged or diseased heart valves. Some cardiovascular conditions require open surgery, but many are treated with less invasive techniques that use catheters and robotics.
