Bovie diathermy

Bovie diathermy : ------------------- Bovie deserves acknowledgement for his outstanding pioneering role in designing the first surgical diathermy machine in 1928. Since then cautery has been increasingly employed in surgery for cutting and coagulating, ensuring efficient haemostasis during surgery. It has become popular even for making skin incisions, given its quickness, effective haemostasis and associated lesser pain and minimal scarring.
