For surgery at the micro level, such as Xenopus Capping The PI-MC2010 is a micro-cauterizing unit that embraces thermodynamic technology to perform micro-surgical tasks with efficiency and cleanliness. Cells just beyond the cutting line are left healthy and functional. How It Works A current passes through the platinum cutting wire and super-heats it at a preprogrammed rate for the span of a few microseconds, then abruptly stops. A thin, gaseous-tube of solution surrounding the wire is created because the rate of heating is much faster than the velocity of the solution molecules due to their average thermal energy at room temperature. This creates an intense but finite shockwave as the superheated tube of vapor expands from the wire inducing turbulence. The quick heating and cooling of the platinum wire causes a flushing effect as cool water rushes in after the brief shockwave and turbulence. Debris from the lysed cells directly adjacent to the wire is flushed away immediately. Cellular debris does not stick to the wire and, even at the highest power settings, only an extremely small quantity of heat is generated and then quickly cooled so as not to increase the temperature of the surrounding environment.

Using this method, the current enters the patient’s body and the patient becomes part of the electrical circuit. This requires the use of a return, or indifference plate. This economically priced electrosurgical unit has 10 levels of output intensity, three operational modes (cut, coagulate, and cut/coagulate), and various choices of electrodes. The unit comes complete and ready-to-use with a handpiece, indifference plate, footswitch, and one of each electrodes. All accessories can also be ordered separately.
