The Force 1C has a streamlined, compact design perfect for the requirements of outpatient surgery - as well as the power and performance features needed for a full range of general inpatient surgical procedures.
THREE BLENDED CUT MODES provide flexibility with varying degrees of hemostasis in the cut modes.
QUICK SET UP FEATURES reduce the need for readjustment between procedures. Microbipolar and monopolar modes are set independently, and the digital display allows easy confirmation of power levels.
ISOLATED OUTPUT DESIGN directs current return to the generator, reducing the risk of alternate site burns.
REM SAFETY is guaranteed with Valleylab's REM contact quality monitoring system, which continually monitors patient impedance levels. If a fault in the patient/return electrode contact is detected, the REM system automatically deactivates the generator - virtually eliminating the risk of burns under the return electrode.
