| RF Cautery ( Model-RF-B2 ) The Technique of Radio surgery involves the passage of high frequency radio waves ( 2 MGz-Megahertz) through soft tissue to cut, coagulate, or remove the tissue. Soft tissue resistance to theses radio waves causes the cellular water in the soft tissue to heat, which produces steam and results in cellular molecular dissolution of individual tissue cells. The surgeon uses a hand piece with an active electrode ( different Types of Electrode for Different applications ) to transmit the radio waves. The radio waves are focused on the tissue by an antenna plate( Patient Plate ) that is positioned behind the tissue in contact with patients skin.
