The Conmed 2000 Hyfrecator
This little rascal deserves some study. I was recently reminded that potential shock or burn hazards can exist. It is most commonly used as a monopolar, ground referenced ESU with about 30 watts output. The ground reference is made through the green wire in the power cord. The patient’s body is capacitive coupled through the air to ground, completing the circuit.
The operators manual describes the necessary precautions to be taken.
