3. General description of the unit

Electrocautery is the oldest form of coagulation using
electrical current.
The application of heat for the coagulation of vessels was
already known in ancient Egypt.
With the invention of the transformer and the battery, the
coagulation of vessels by means of a hot wire was also
introduced into medicine. Since the invention of HF
surgery, electrocautery for stopping hemorrhage has
become insignificant, although it continues to be used
for specific interventions in ophthalmology and ENT.
The ERBE KAUTER N is an electrocautery unit with a
precisely controllable electrical output.
