U.S. electrosurgical generators market is projected to record significant gains over the forthcoming timeframe. Electrosurgical generators, also called as electrosurgical units (ESUs), mainly consist of a generator and a handpiece, usually with one or more electrodes. The generator is controlled by using a foot switch or a switch on the handpiece.

Electrosurgical generators are capable of producing a variety of electrical waveforms. As the electric waveforms change, so do the corresponding effects of tissue. Electrosurgery is normally used in eye surgery to cut, ablate, dissect, fulgurate, coagulate, and shrink tissue.

Electrosurgical generators have a variety of blend modes. The generators also come with multiple cut options to cut tissue cleanly with wider and deeper cuts that are based on increased power.

Modern electrosurgical generators are able to adjust power either manually or automatically. The generators also come with multiple coagulation or fulgeration options. The options for coag may include spray or pinpoint options to target limited or exact areas for coagulation. Full coagulation for thermal charring to stop or reduce bleeding.

The numerous features of electrosurgical generators have led to an increase in its demand, stimulating U.S. electrosurgical generators market growth. The growth can also be attributed to rising prevalence of minimally invasive operations in the United States.

The modern electrosurgical generators that are technologically advanced come with built-in safety measures in order to prevent burns from occurring due to poor contact between both the return electrode and the patient.

Owing to their wide usage in several clinical and surgical procedures as well as cost-effectiveness of electrosurgical techniques and devices, the U.S electrosurgical market is anticipated to witness commendable gains in the upcoming years.

With respect to the application landscape, the electrosurgical generators find massive use in sectors such as optical, dermatology, cardiac, gynecology, ENT, urology, dental, neurology, orthopedic, maxillofacial, and others. Among these, the cardiac segment is estimated to show a CAGR of more than 7% over the forthcoming years due to increasing adoption of electrosurgical generators to treat sensitivity of nerves and cardiac muscle cells.

Use of electrosurgery has been gaining importance in dentistry as well. Gingival overgrowth is a condition that develops after trauma or is linked with cervically fractured teeth. Gingiva could be recontoured for cosmetic, functional or physiological purposes and is known as crown lengthening procedure.

The use of electrosurgical generators could also be seen in neurology as well. With new indications and complex demands in neurosurgery, the demand for electrosurgical generators have risen. These newly developed and automatically controlled electrosurgical generators make it possible to use small and flexible equipment safely and also to achieve reproducible microcoagulations and microcuts.

Electrosurgery is deployed on a massive scale in gynecological procedures including hysteroscopy, loop and laparoscopy procedures, which would further expand the overall scope of U.S. electrosurgical generators market.

With respect to end-use segment, the market is classified into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Among these, the clinics segment held around $190 million owing to wide usage of electrosurgical devices in dental, ophthalmic and dermatology clinics.

With wide use of electrosurgical devices in clinics, especially in the high-demand sectors of dental, neurology, as well as gynecology, the U.S. electrosurgical generators market is set to witness tremendous gains during the forthcoming years.
