Indicated Ophthalmic Applications (from catalog): Chalazion, Entropion, Xanthelasma

The CONMED Hyfrecator 2000 is a versatile and highly regarded electrosurgical unit (ESU) widely used across medical specialties — including ophthalmology. Offering both monopolar and bipolar modalities, the system is designed to deliver precise tissue therapy in office‑based and ambulatory microsurgical settings. This pre‑owned unit, refurbished and evaluated, is in excellent condition and presents an outstanding value proposition for ophthalmic surgical centers focusing on anterior‑segment or minor‑eyelid procedures.

Precision for Ophthalmic Use

For ophthalmologists managing eyelid lesions (xanthelasma), meibomian cysts/chalazion, entropion, or delicate ocular surface coagulation, the Hyfrecator 2000 offers features ideally suited to the anatomical and tissue‑response needs of the eye region. Its low‑output terminal allows fine desiccation in 0.1‑watt increments up to 10 W, enabling gentle coagulation of superficial eyelid vasculature or ablation of small lesions with minimal thermal spread. The high‑output terminal (up to 35 W) provides broader fulguration capability when needed, but in an ophthalmic context the low range is most relevant, giving fine control.

Dual Microprocessor Safety & Workflow Efficiency

Internal dual‑microprocessor architecture ensures one microprocessor regulates power output while the second monitors system safety, terminating activation if abnormal conditions are detected. This assures ophthalmic users an added layer of safety in delicate procedures near ocular structures. The system also supports memory‑recall of up to three power settings, facilitating repeat workflow for commonly performed ocular‑minor surgery tasks.

Monopolar & Bipolar Modes

While many ophthalmic electrosurgical tasks rely on bipolar coagulation (to avoid return‑plate hazards near delicate ocular tissues), the Hyfrecator 2000 offers both modes. Ophthalmic practices may prefer bipolar mode for eyelid/eyelash base surgeries, while monopolar mode may be used for superficial eyelid lesion ablation with appropriate dispersive plate placement.

Compact Size & Installation Flexibility

Weighing just 6 lb (2.7 kg) and dimensions of 8.75” (W) × 7.5” (H) × 4” (D), the Hyfrecator 2000 is easily integrated into compact ophthalmic treatment rooms, minor‑surgery suites or ambulatory eye‑care units.

Accessory Compatibility

The system accepts autoclavable hand and foot‑activated pencils, a wide electrode tip library (sharp needle, ball, wire), sterile sheaths and bipolar forceps — making it adaptable for various ophthalmic tissue types, from eyelid skin to conjunctival membranes. The product catalog explicitly lists ophthalmology among its indicated specialties (including chalazion, entropion, xanthelasma) in its applications list.

Clinical Ophthalmic Applications

• • Chalazion / Meibomian cyst ablation: The fine‑desiccation capability makes the Hyfrecator 2000 highly effective for office‑based removal of chalazia with minimal postoperative downtime.
• • Entropion / Trichiasis / Eyelid Vascular Lesions: Controlled fulguration of eyelid margin vessels or small lesions with careful use of bipolar mode reduces collateral thermal risk to the globe or conjunctiva.
• • Xanthelasma & Eyelid Lesion Removal: Precise ablation of superficial lipid‑deposit eyelid lesions is facilitated by the low‑watt desiccation capability.

• • Minor Eyelid Surgical Procedures: Close‑quarters electrosurgery without large footprint equipment; can complement excisional techniques in minor‑surgery suites.
