The Most Durable & ReliablePlace An Order

 

The most reliable desiccator available today, at an absolutely low cost.  The BOVIE DERM 942’s life is prolonged by incorporating the latest in chip technology and reducing the number of internal parts which means less internal heat.

The DERM 942 is the most cost-effective and user- friendly unit on the market. With state-of-the-art digital electronics, the unit power level can be adjusted from high to low voltage instantaneously, while the competitor requires a four step process per adjustment.

Post-procedure and long-term cleanup are simplified by its non-absorbing, non-staining, high impact plastic case.

The Basics of OperationPlace An Order

The Bovie® DERM 942 produces radio frequency current which is useful for the removal and destruction of superficial cutaneous and mucosal lesions. This is done by performing desiccation and fulguration procedures. Electrosurgical desiccation occurs when the electrode is placed directly onto the surface of the lesion. Fulguration occurs when the electrode is held slightly above the lesion and an arc is delivered to the lesion. The unit also provides fast and efficient bleeding control by coagulation of capillaries and small blood vessels.

For the majority of desiccation, fulguration, and coagulation procedures utilizing the standard handpiece in the monopolar output, the patient plate is optional. When used, the patient plate will intensify the coagulation properties of the unit and also lessen the opportunity for an electrosurgical burn. The optional footswitch adds versatility when using the standard handpiece in the monopolar output, as the footswitch allows you to activate the unit by either the handpiece or the footswitch. Bipolar outputs are available for those physicians who prefer to utilize bipolar forceps to perform coagulation procedures. A footswitch is required when using the bipolar output and the patient plate is not used. Procedures that are performed in sensitive areas may require an anesthetic. Flammable anesthetics should not be used.

If you are unfamiliar with the operation of a low powered electrosurgery unit, it is advisable to practice on chicken or lean flank steak to visualize the effects at various output and power levels.

A) POWER SWITCH
Turn the unit power on utilizing the switch on the left side panel of the unit.
B) POWER OUTPUT DIAL
Set the power output either by using the dial on the left side of the unit or by the up and down buttons on the handpiece (F). When power level adjustment is being made by the handpiece an audible tone will sound to indicate that the power level has been changed. Depressing and holding the up or down buttons will cause the power settings to change more rapidly for quick adjustment of the output settings. Power output is displayed in “.1” watt increments from 0.1 to 10 watts.
C) ACTIVE LIGHT
When the unit is activated, an audible tone is sounded and the blue active light will illuminate.
D) STANDARD ELECTRODE
Slide the standard electrode into the handpiece until it is firmly seated. The handpiece will accept most standard 3/32″ electrodes.
E) ACTIVATION BUTTON
To activate the unit, remove the handpiece from the holder. Place the handpiece in the desired position and depress the activation button.
F) POWER OUTPUT BUTTONS
Set the power output by pressing the up and down buttons on the handpiece.
 
G) MONOPOLAR OUTPUT RECEPTACLE
The monopolar output for the handpiece is on the lower right front of the unit. The handpiece plug is designed to fit in only one direction. Plug the connector from the handpiece into the receptacle on the bottom of the unit. The three button handpiece is designed to give the doctor complete fingertip control of the power output settings.
H) GROUNDING PLATE OUTPUT RECEPTACLE
To use the optional grounding plate with cord (A802EU), insert the plug of the cord into the grounding plate output receptacle (H) and connect the other end into the grounding plate. The plate should be placed underneath the patient at a point where the entire plate is covered by bare skin. The use of conductive gel is recommended.
I) BIPOLAR OUTPUT RECEPTACLE
To use bipolar forceps, you need the following optional accessories, bipolar cord #A827V, footswitch #A803 and a bipolar forceps (please refer to the catalog to choose the right forceps for your particular procedure). Insert the plug into the bipolar outputs receptacle (I), then connect the cord to the forceps.
J) POWER CORD
Plug the female end of the power cord into the base of the unit.
K) FOOTSWITCH OUTPUT RECEPTACLE
The optional footswitch (A803) is plugged into the footswitch output and placed on the floor. The footswitch can be used with monopolar procedures and must be used with bipolar procedures.
