ALTIUS

A NEW STEP IN RADIOSURGERY

 

Combining the latest technology in electronics with advanced software systems, Altius HF 200W is one of the most advanced equipment used in radiosurgery (electrosurgery). The innovations brought by Altius assure the highest degree of protection for physicians and patients, thus creating a precedent for the production of innovative, safe, ergonomic and efficient devices. Since the year when it appeared Altius 200W Hf was a success both on the Romanian and international market, the radiocautery being used in clinics from Japan, Italy and Germany.

 

Because of its performances, Altius 200W HF can be used successfully both in classical surgery - in all types of incisions, and also in lesion surgery of the skin and mucous membranes. Altius HF 200W is extremely precise even during the most delicate operations and it is an ideal partner for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Its use allows a minimally invasive technique, practiced in electro resections, cervical biopsy, cauterization, excision of genital warts. These types of intervention become routine ones.

 

Advantages of ALTIUS HF200W radiocautery

 

 

Altius HF 200W comes up with a new solution to support a minimally invasive surgery by using the appropriate amount of energy necessary for the tissue. The classical devices induce in the tissue more power than it is necessary for stalk or tissue coagulation.

 

Altius HF200W supports the physician and the patient by using an innovative, patented system that monitors the connection between the device and the grounding. This unique system offers advantages unmatched in the world for the protection against accidental burns.

 

 The perfect control of section depth is supplemented by a protection system that prevents tissue damage when higher pressure, than the one needed on the hand piece, is applied.

 Full control to stop the bleeding with two modes of monopolar coagulation (superficial and deep) and a bipolar coagulation mode, adjustable from 1W.

 Due to the use of high frequency currents, patient recovery is done in a much shorter time

 Ability to work both in bipolar and monopolar mode without additional manipulations of the changing accessories

 Small sized for its performance, ergonomic menu that can be preset in the main international languages

 It can be used intensively for a longer period than the traditional electro-surgery devices

 Reduces operating time considerably

 Extremely low weight, very easy to carry

 The versatility of the device is given by its compatibility with all electrosurgery accessories

 

 

Advantages of radiosurgery

 

 No tissue destruction caused by heat 

 Simultaneous incision and coagulation of small blood vessels

 Ability to make incisions without pressure

 Accuracy and intervention control on soft tissue

 Operation field clean and open

 Radiosurgery costs are very low costs compared to other medical expensive equipment

 Radiosurgery can be used by all physicians who have mastered the principles of classical surgery and doesn't need a comprehensive study for use of equipment
