CB Partner Webinar #EVENTTITLE# Ellman, a Cynosure company We hope the information was helpful in understanding radiosurgery. Radiosurgery at 4 MHz high frequency can be useful in all surgical procedures. It is safe in the operating room and produces less collateral damage than lasers and low-frequency electrosurgical technologies. In radiosurgery, the 5 factors that involve lateral heat production are output frequency (4 MHz creating the least lateral heat), contact time, power setting, waveform, and electrode size. There is no one-size-fits-all power setting due to the changes in power consumption, fat versus muscle content of the patient, cleanliness of the tip, and age of the handpiece. It is recommended to start with 10 to 12 W, then work from there. The electrode size chosen will vary depending on the tissue to be incised; most veterinary surgeons prefer a fine tip. Larger electrodes will require more power to elicit a similar effect on the tissue and will produce more lateral heat and scar tissue. The waveform used most commonly in radiosurgery is the fully filtered (continuous) form, which provides 90% cutting and 10% coagulation; this is ideal for skin biopsies and incisions.

Dear #FIRSTNAME#,
Thank you for attending our webinar, "#EVENTTITLE#," sponsored by Ellman, a Cynosure company. We hope the information was helpful in understanding radiosurgery.
Below you will find the Top 5 Takeaways from the webinar.
Top 5 Takeaways
