Technology and equipment for high-frequency welding and treatment (coagulation, cutting) of live tissues in surgery is ever wider
used in medical practice of many countries of the world. This work, which has been performed on the base of both the materials
posted on the Internet and authors’ own materials, is a general review of the most typical representatives of such basic equipment,
which is proposed by the leading world manufacturers. The main features and advantages of the respective equipment are given
as claimed by its developers. The work is designed both for users and for developers of new equipment. 26 Ref., 1 Tabl., 15 Fig.
Keywords: electric welding surgery, high-frequency welding of live tissues, equipment, world manufacturers
