The Bovie® electrosurgical generator was first used in an operating room on October 1, 1926, at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. A few days earlier, on September 28, 1926, Dr. Cushing had been unsuccessful in removing a highly vascular mass from a patient’s head. In Dr. Cushing’s notes from October 1st: "...with Dr. Bovie’s help I proceeded to take off most satisfactorily the remaining portion of the tumor with practically none of the bleeding which was occasioned in the preceding operation."
Bovie Medical has been acquired by Symmetry Surgical, a company that continues the Bovie tradition of innovation and service to the medical community.
Aaron Bovie disposable dispersive electrodes with super adhesive gel are designed for single use with safety and quality built in.
Where reusability is requested, a reusable electrode and cable are available.
