An electrocautery is a medical device of an electronic nature whose technology is based on the use of radio frequency, which is often used in surgical procedures to remove harmful or unwanted tissues. It can also be used to cauterize and seal blood vessels. So using this equipment helps to reduce or stop bleeding during surgery or after an injury.
It is a equipment that allows to carry out a quite safe procedure differs from electroscalpel because it uses direct current through a metal device that resists the flow of energies, which by modulating a certain voltage and a high frequency allows to achieve hemostasis in small blood vessels or even coagulate and cut tissues, offering excellent results. An electrocautery can reach temperatures higher than 200 °C, so it can be used in different medical specialties, and possess numerous functions, since by placing it on the tissue can achieve a disseminated coagulation.
What are warts? Types of warts
Common or common warts are common lesions in people, they are categorized as small granular lumps on the skin appearing more frequently on the fingers or hands. These lesions are rough to the touch and may also present a pattern of small black spots, which are small blood vessels of clotted blood. Warts are caused by skin proliferation, the most common causal agent being human papillomavirus (HPV). They are transmitted by direct contact from person to person, and indirectly through clothing and formulas.
In the face usually are found more often filiform warts, which are small brown or pink warts that have an elongated shape, these can present alone or forming small branches. There is also a type of round or oval wart, which is the most common, has a rough or grainy surface and rises over the rest of the skin. Warts commonly do not cause pain unless there is repetitive friction, they may disappear spontaneously over time and come back the same way.
How do you get rid of warts?
Getting rid of a wart is not easy, as each wart has its own irrigation system, so they cause extensive bleeding when removed using medical mechanisms other than electrocautery, in addition to that it can compromise nerve endings, so its handling can be traumatic if not done by a specialist, even getting infected or regenerated and spreading with much more virulence.
Generally the treatments available to treat warts are directed to destroy all the cells infected with the virus, or get the individual’s own immune system to do so. It is commonly recommended to treat them when they cause pain, interfere with normal function of the individual or for important aesthetic reasons. Different treatments are available on the market, such as: keratolytic, cytotoxic, immunomodulatory, cryotherapy, laser and surgical resection (electrocautery) agents.
Electrocauterization of warts
The electrocauterization procedure is one of the most effective and safe methods when removing warts, it is a minimally invasive, ambulatory type technique based on the principle of using electricity to heat a small needle-tip tweezers (the electrocautery), which is placed on the wart removing it and cauterizing the wound in turn, without the electricity used penetrating the body. Local anesthesia is used to avoid discomfort in the patient and is performed by a specialist dermatologist or surgeon.
The electrocauterization technique is used to destroy the tissues and it is through electrocauterization that it is commonly achieved to burn the injured or unwanted tissue as it is a fairly safe method, in addition to electrocautery are routinely used in these surgical procedures as they additionally manage to decrease or stop bleeding.
