Advances in medical devices have produced different and competing electrosurgical technologies. The goals of such modern electrosurgical units aim to improve post-operative outcomes, shorten hospital stays and enhance the physiological healing of surgical wounds. The purpose of this case study is to share the outcome of a blepharoplasty that requires delicate cutting and coagulation using radiofrequency.
Ophthalmologist and eye surgeon A. Looi (Ava Eye Clinic, Singapore) reports on her experience with the CURIS® 4 MHz radiofrequency technology in combination with the SuperGliss® non-stick bipolar forceps and the disposable ARROWtip™ monopolar microdissection electrode:
„This case study highlights the gentle yet efficacious touch of the CURIS® device as we have observed it regularly in aesthetic eye surgery. Post-operative healing and scarring is comparable to the treatment using a cold scalpel. Impedance-controlled 4 MHz radiofrequency is an excellent option for precise, drag-free and hemostatic skin cuts.“
