New Bio-Active Energy (BAE) Electrode for Radio Surgery Substantially Reduces Lateral Tissue Damage Compared to Classical Radio Electrodes

Radio Wave surgery is an atraumatic method used for both the cutting and coagulation of soft tissues. The cutting and coagulation are achieved through the use of a thin metal wire called a “surgical electrode,’ which transmits and conveys radio wave energy in such a way as to heat the tissue. Through the newest innovation of Dr. Jon Garito, a new bio-active energy (BAE) electrode contains significant improvements over classical steel and tungsten radio frequency electrodes. A pathohistological analysis of skin lesions removed and Sampled samples for biopsy has shown that BAE electrodes lead to significantly lower lateral thermal damage to the cells in the tissue, thus not disturbing the quality of the obtained histological results. The aim of this research was to demonstrate the validity of pathohistological results in various pathological outgrowths of skin removed by radio wave 4. Mhz surgery by analyzing them from the aspect of lateral tissue damage.

Most medical professionals specializing in plastic, aesthetic, and cosmetic surgery believe that the development of new and improved methodologies and technologies will drastically shape the future of these fields. Both conventional electro-surgical apparatuses and even surgical lasers can cause delayed wound healing and scarring due to excellerated thermal damage, and there is a constant desire for innovative designs that optimize healing and surgical outcomes for the patient. The Ellman Surgical 4.0 Dual which operates at 4 megahertz is able to preserve the pathological tissue by using a high frequency and low temperature. The use of this relatively new technology is rapidly increasing, because it achieves far superior results compared to any other existing surgical technique [1-8]. The BAE Electrode invented by Dr. Jon Garito enables us to brush, plane or layer away the pathological tissue with minimal thermal effect. The degree of lateral carbonization, the presence of necrotic tissue, and lateral tissue injury are all remarkably reduced, which is very significant for the pathohistological analysis. What makes this BAE Electrode unique, is that there is no heating of the electrode during the unit operation. This technology allows the Surgeon to deliver heat energy to the desired tissue while the electrode remains cold.
