Electrosurgery and electrocautery (also called thermal cautery) are not synonymous. In electrosurgery, electrical energy, also called current, may be converted to heat energy. The heat produced this way is used in medical procedure to cut coagulate, desiccate or remove unusual grouts. Electrocautery is a technique using high frequency to remove unwanted tissues, make incisions or coagulate. This procedure was invented by Dr. Bovie.

Our black instruments are coated with titanium nitride (TiN), an extremely hard ceramic material.The TiN coating hardens and protects the cutting edge. Ceramic coated anti-reflective instruments are perfect for microscopy and microsurgical applications. Coating surgical instruments with a black ceramic offers several distinct advantages. Non-reflective Corrosion resistant Low friction Wear and tear resistant Biocompatible The coating adds a thin layer to the metal instrument that actually makes the instrument harder, offering surgeons greater precision and perfection. This anti-glare surface minimizes any reflection off the surface of your instruments. The incredibly smooth coating improving the instruments' resistance to corrosion and minimizing friction. The reduced wear and tear means coated instruments last considerably longer. The ceramic coating is virtually impenetrable, because the raw material is bonded to the instrument both physically and chemically. The black coated instruments are much more resilient to the pressure of daily use and chemical processing. Coated instruments last considerably longer. -
