title: Soft tissue surgery using radiowave techniques.
abstract: Numerous types of soft tissue surgical procedures can be performed using radiowave techniques. The Ellman International Surgitron is a versatile surgical instrument capable of making incisions, excisions, dessication, and coagulation. It converts electrical current into controlled energy in the radiowave frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum. Surgeons can then choose from three surgical currents based on the results they desire.
