DEVELOPMENT OF WELDING TECHNOLOGY, MANUFACTURE OF PILOT INDUSTRIAL BATCH AND

IMPLEMENTATION OF WELDING SYSTEMS AND INSTRUMENTS FOR CONNECTING OF SOFT

LIVE TISSUES

E. O. Paton Electric. Welding Institute

the E.O.Paton Electric Welding Institute jointly with the International association

“Welding” (IAW), several medical organizations of Ukraine and company CSMG, USA, has demonstrated it’s effectiveness and is in practical use for over 10 years (since 2002).

At present over 150 surgical procedures with use of high-frequency soft tissue welding are implemented in Ukraine with about 100 000 operations performed on humans. The fields for its applications are as follows:

General Abdominal Surgery
Traumatology
Pulmonology
Proctology
Urology
Mammalogy

RF LTW has demonstrated it’s effectiveness in veterinary surgery as well.
At present (after our evaluation) from 15 to 20 thousand surgeries are being made in Ukraine annually with the E.O.Paton Institute equipment for RF LTW

ENT Operations
Gynecology
Vascular Surgery
Operations On Parenchymatous Organs
Ophthalmology
