Electrosurgery is a commonly u s e d procedure that has been used in both human and veterinary surgery for over 20 years. Ultra-high frequency radio waves are transmitted through a fine wire electrode to a flat antenna on a ground plate placed under the animal.

What Do the Dial Settings Refer To? The two dials on the front panel refer to Fig. 1 waveform mode and power intensity. The waveform mode has different settings. This dial allows the selective use of various waveforms that give varying degrees of cutting power and hemostasis.
Getting Started Remove the unit from the box and lay it on a flat surface. Connect the female end of the power cord to the rear of the unit, and the male end in a grounded electrical outlet. The male jack of the Black (or Green) surgery hand piece is inserted into the unit into the black socket marked “...

Cutting The tissue should always be moist. Dry tissue can result in surface charring. Saline solutions are the best solution to use. Cutting involves no pressure. The hand should rest on a support in order to keep control over the hand piece. Remember to use a feather light touch. Hemostasis Small bleeders can easily be stopped with an electrosurgery unit.
Electrode Type There are literally hundreds of different styles of electrodes available from various manufacturers. The JorVet Electrode is the industry standard 3/32” shank. Other manufacturer’s electrodes will work on the JorVet unit. GT1: Blade Electrode GT2: Small Loop Electrode...

Electrode Styles These are best for hemostasis purposes. Ball end: : These electrodes work nicely with skin tumors or Loop end gingival hyperplasia. The loop encircles and slices through tissue. Circle and diamond loop configurations are available. Thin wires work well for cutting. The heavier wires work Straight: well for hemostasis.
Trouble Shooting Before starting, make sure all connections are correct. R e m e m b e r : Hand piece into black socket; IND plate into red socket. Too much sparking: Adjust power down by 2 positions. Will not cut: a) Is the power light on? b) Foot pedal connected? c) ACTIVE light on when foot pedal is depressed?
