SURGICAL DIATHERMY - ELECTRO SURGICAL UNIT 250D - MESSCO
GENERAL INFO ON DIATHERMY
In medicine, the term diathermy [di´ah-ther″me] means "electrically induced heat" the use of high-frequency electromagnetic currents as a form of physical or occupational therapy and in surgical procedures. The field was pioneered in 1907 by German physician Karl Franz Nagelschmidt, who coined the term diathermy, derived from the Greek words dia and therma, and literally means "heating through.” adj., adj diather´mal, diather´mic. Diathermy is commonly used for muscle relaxation, and as a method of heating tissue electromagnetically or ultrasonically for therapeutic purposes in medicine. It is used in physical therapy and occupational therapy to deliver moderate heat directly to pathologic lesions in the deeper tissues of the body. Diathermy is produced by three techniques: ultrasound (ultrasonic diathermy), short-wave radio frequencies in the range 1–100 MHz (shortwave diathermy) or microwaves typically in the 915 MHz or 2.45 GHz bands (microwave diathermy), the methods differing mainly in their penetration capability.[1] It exerts physical effects and elicits a spectrum of physiological responses. Surgically, the extreme heat that can be produced by diathermy may be used to destroy neoplasms, warts, and infected tissues, and to cauterize blood vessels to prevent excessive bleeding. The technique is particularly valuable in neurosurgery and surgery of the eye.

Infant Warmer
TO PREVENT NEONATAL HYPOTHERMIA
The WHO defines the normal temperature of a neonate at 36.5– 37.5°C, and gradations of hypothermia including mild (36-36.5°C), moderate (32-36°C) and severe (<32°C). Even at warm ambient temperatures, neonates can have difficulty retaining heat, especially as amniotic and other fluid evaporates off their skin. Cold stresses on neonates can lead to hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, hypoxia, acidosis, and other pathologies.
To prevent these , infant warmer devices are used for the infants. MESSCO provides the world class high quality Warmer Equipments to save the lifes of the new born .
