BOVIE – THE INVENTOR OF ELECTROSURGERY
The first use of the Bovie
®
electrosurgical generator in an operating room was
on October 1, 1926, at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
A few days earlier (September 28, 1926) Dr. Cushing had been unsuccessful
in removing a mass from a patient’s head due to its highly vascular nature.
In Dr. Cushing’s notes from October 1st, “…with Dr. Bovie’s help I proceeded
to take off most satisfactorily the remaining portion of tumor with practically
none of the bleeding which was occasioned in the preceding operation.”
Over seventy-five years later, we continue to improve the work of Dr. Bovie.
The following pages represent our product line, including three Bovie
®
electrosurgical generators and two high frequency desiccators. The work
continues today, but our sincere thanks go out to Dr. Cushing and
William T. Bovie for their incredible invention.
