Medtronic AEX Generator

Medtronic AEX Generator

The Medtronic AEX Generator is a radio-frequency electrosurgical unit designed for precise cutting and coagulation of soft tissues. Capable of powering both monopolar and bipolar handpieces simultaneously, this generator delivers RF energy efficiently for a variety of surgical applications. For monopolar procedures, it includes a rotary peristaltic pump that provides continuous saline irrigation, which aids in hemostatic sealing and coagulation of tissues and even bones. The unit features a color touchscreen display with clear visual prompts and audio feedback for activations and alarms, ensuring a user-friendly interface that guides operators through safe and effective procedures. It is ideally suited for general, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, as well as ENT, gynecologic, orthopedic, arthroscopic, spinal, and neurological procedures.
