Electrosurgical units are devices that cut tissue and coagulate incisions or wounds by directing high frequency current through the patient's body between an active and a neutral electrode, or between two active electrodes. These general-purpose generators are used in conjunction with an electrosurgical handpiece to deliver radio frequency electrosurgical current for cutting and coagulation at operative sites.
