Electrosurgery Units
Electrosurgery is the use of a high-frequency electric current applied to body tissue to cut or desiccate it. In the hands of trained clinicians, the technique offers a controlled way to remove skin lesions, manage small bleeds and complete a range of in-clinic procedures in primary care, dermatology and minor surgery.
GP surgeries, dermatology clinics, minor surgery units, gynaecology services and outpatient teams across the UK use electrosurgery units to support routine and planned minor procedures.

The Schuco Electrosurgery Range At HCE
Electrosurgery has become a routine part of minor surgical work in UK practices, offering controlled cutting and coagulation through a single hand-held device. Depending on the procedure and the technique used, clinicians can apply electrosurgery for cutting, desiccation or coagulation, often within the same session.
Schuco, a long-established name in UK electrosurgical equipment, supplies our electrosurgery range. The range covers the main electrosurgical unit, the consumables and accessories needed for daily use, and replacement parts to keep equipment in service over the long term.
Our electrosurgery range includes:
- Electrosurgery units: The Schuco Surtron 120 Electrosurgery Diathermy Unit and the Schuco 120W Smoke Package, which bundles the Surtron 120 with single-use smoke evacuation consumables.
- Switching handles and electrodes: Schuco switching handles with 3m cable, available with a ball, needle or blade electrode, or supplied without an electrode for use with separate fittings. A 3mm Coag ball electrode is also available for coagulation work.
- Bipolar forceps and adapters: Reusable bipolar forceps with a standard 4.5″ tip, single-use bipolar forceps with cable (0.5mm tip), bipolar forceps with integral cable and adapter, and the Schuco Double Port Bipolar adapter for the Surtron 120.
- Electrolase disposable tips: Schuco Electrolase tips in sterile sharp, sterile blunt, non-sterile sharp and non-sterile blunt options, covering a range of tip preferences.
- Disposable sheaths and ground pads: Sterile handle and cable sheaths, non-sterile handle sheaths and adult single-use ground pads with cable to support appropriate clinical use.
- Specialist accessories: A disposable vasectomy electrode for use in urology and vasectomy services, alongside a mobile pedestal stand and footswitch for the Hyfrecator 2000.
For practices that handle skin and soft-tissue work more broadly, our cryosurgery, cautery units, and dermatology instrument ranges sit alongside electrosurgery as alternative or complementary options for treating warts, lesions, and other minor presentations.

FAQs
What is electrosurgery used for?
Electrosurgery is widely used in primary care, dermatology and minor surgery for the removal of benign skin lesions, the control of small bleeds and a range of other in-clinic procedures. It uses a high-frequency electric current to cut or desiccate tissue, depending on the technique used.
What is the difference between monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery?
Monopolar electrosurgery uses a single active electrode, with the current returning through a ground pad placed on the patient. Bipolar electrosurgery uses forceps with two tips, with current flowing only between them. Bipolar work tends to be used for finer or more localised coagulation, while monopolar setups are often used for cutting and coagulation across a wider range of procedures.
