Description
The MAUS Bipolar Electrosurgical System CMC-III
(catalog no. 8()’1170) includes:
1. The Generator;
2. A wireless Remote Control for changing power
settings as well as operating the cutting and coagulation functions;
3. An Adapter Cable to allow the use of a MALIS
Irrigator and/or a MALIS Bipedal Electric Footswitch
with the CMC-IJI.
The generator is compatible with both a pneumatic
footswitch (catalog no. 8(H173) and an electric
tootswitch (catalog no. 80-1149) both available
separately. The generator is equipped with a voice
synthesizer that provides an audible indication of
changes to the power settings. At the surgeon’s
option, it also announces the operating mode and
power setting each time cutting or coagulation is
performed. With the exception of the generator, aU the
above system components may also be ordered
separately.
MAUS Bipolar Cutting Forceps and standard
insulated and non insulated forceps are available
separately, as are reusable and disposable bipolar
cords. The System may be used with the MALIS
Irrigation Module (catalog no. 80-1164). The
CODMAW Floorstand for MALIS CMC-IIIIII is
designed to accommodate the CMC-III Generator
and the Irrigator together.
In bipolar coagulation, the electrical difference is
only in the isolated output and in the lower power
requirements. The output of the bipolar generator
should be isolated from ground as much as possible.
so all current flow takes place between the two tips
of the separated forceps. There should be virtually
no current flow from either side of the forceps to
ground. The current geometry will now be dependent upon the tip size and the angle at which the tips
meet, as well as the medium in which they are
immersed. 11 the forceps blades are virtualty parallel. and the forceps are deep in saline, there will be
major shunting in the saline. If the forceps are
bowed or angled so the tips almost meet while the
blades are still well separated, the current flow will
be mainly between the tips with little shunting. The
lowest possible generator output impedance provides the best maintenance 01 power at the forceps
tips with the least decrease in coagulation due to
shunting.
The MAUS Bipolar Electrosurgical System CMC-III
provides the higher energy output needed for rapid
cutting of all tissues, including dense fibrous layers,
shifting the low impedance of the micro cutting
automatically to match the power requirements of the high power cut settings.
