Synergetics USA, Inc. (SURG) announced that the company will begin production of a lower priced electrosurgical generator with full feature cut and coagulation modes within the upcoming months. This unit, called Dual Wave, was designed to fill the price range between the company’s small coagulation unit and the company’s more expensive units. Dual Wave, although lower priced, will still feature the company’s patented technology and dramatically improved sales profits.

Gregg D. Scheller, President and CEO of Synergetics, stated, “This unit will provide us with selling options, especially when confronted with the price compression that we’ve seen from competitors. This unit can be produced at a much lower cost and will offer an alternative to those customers who are not interested in the full featured Advantage(TM). Although this unit will contain the patented Malis(R) waveform for coagulation, it will not have the improved cutting ability of the Advantage(TM) and will not accept the hand-switched bipolar pencils.”

Synergetics USA, Inc is a leading designer of bipolar electrosurgical generators and a leading manufacturer of microsurgical hand instruments. Synergetics designs, manufactures and markets medical devices for use in ophthalmic surgery and neurosurgery, amongst various other healthcare applications. Synergetics sells their vast array of products primarily to hospitals, clinics and surgeons in 70 countries.
