Global Electrosurgical Devices Market

Electrosurgical Devices use high-frequency alternating polarity, electrical current on biological tissue as a means to cut, desiccate, coagulate, or fulgurate tissue.. Electrosurgical procedures are used in a variety of medical disciplines like gynecology, gastroenterology, urology, pneumology, abdominal surgery, general surgery, and others. Its advantage is the ability to make precise cuts ensuring limited blood loss. The preference of electrosurgery over conventional surgical techniques is mainly attributed to the fact that it involves low risk to the patient, has faster recovery time and ensure minimal chances of infection. Also, in addition to above benefits, these procedures offer ease of use, since they can be easily performed in an office setting as well.

The global electrosurgical devices market was valued at $ 4.46 billion in 2015 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.3.
