Diathermy, Cautery, Coagulation
In the past, some of Alcon’s products have referred to the feature “Cautery” or
"Coagulation." The
Constellation
®
Vision System and this operator's manual use the
word “Diathermy” based on the following definitions:
• Diathermy - introducing an electric field into a body part to produce heat.
• Cautery - cutting and burning method associated with two hot wires passing a
current between them; cutting away skin; halting bleeding.
• Coagulation - an isolated bipolar current supplied to conductors (e.g. forceps).
Current passes between these electrodes, halting bleeding.
