In contrast with the usual electric spark gap scalpels which burn and carbonise tissues, making them unsuitable for section or fine dissection, Surgitron, which uses high frequency radio waves, cuts and coagulates without excessive heating and without carbonisation. It possesses 4 types of current, all with adjustable power levels: section, section-coagulation, coagulation and fulguration. It can be used with ordinary scalpel blades or with the electrodes supplied with the apparatus. It can be used in all stages of the operation: skin incision, fine dissection, coagulation and allows an appreciable gain in time combined with great comfort for the user and for the patient with a reduction in postoperative oedema.
与通常会烧灼和碳化组织、不适用于切片或精细解剖的电火花间隙手术刀不同，使用高频无线电波的Surgitron在切割和凝血时不会产生过度发热和碳化现象。它有4种电流类型，功率均可调节：切割、切割-凝血、凝血和电灼。它既可以搭配普通手术刀刀片使用，也可以使用设备配备的电极。它可用于手术的各个阶段：皮肤切口、精细解剖、凝血，能显著节省时间，让使用者和患者都倍感舒适，同时减轻术后水肿。
