Electrosurgical and Electrocautery Units

Explore our professional range of electrosurgical and electrocautery units, designed to meet the needs of modern surgical environments. At Quirumed UK, we supply advanced cautery devices for cutting, coagulating and tissue dissection — safely, precisely and efficiently.

What Are Electrosurgical Devices?

Electrosurgical units (ESUs) use high-frequency electrical currents to cut through tissue and simultaneously control bleeding through coagulation. These devices are essential in procedures like general surgery, vascular interventions, endoscopy, ophthalmology, podiatry and neurosurgery.

Electrocautery vs Electrosurgery: What’s the Difference?

Electrosurgery involves the use of electric current passing through the patient to cut or coagulate tissue. Electrocautery, on the other hand, uses a heated metal tip (often reaching up to 1200°C) to cauterise blood vessels and control bleeding without electrical current flowing through the patient.

Types of Electrosurgical Equipment Available

• Electrosurgical Units (ESUs): With adjustable power settings for cutting and coagulation modes.
