CONMED System 5000 Electrosurgical Unit (ESU)

The CONMED System 5000 Electrosurgical Generator is a powerful, precision-driven unit tailored for diverse surgical environments—from open and laparoscopic procedures to robotic-assisted interventions. Designed for hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty ORs, this system delivers reliable energy control, enhanced safety, and streamlined workflow.

Overview

Powered by CONMED’s patented Dynamic Response technology, the System 5000 samples tissue impedance over 450,000 times per second, adapting energy delivery within 10 ms for consistent tissue effect and reduced collateral damage. It features versatile specialty modes—General, Fluids, Laparoscopic, Pulse Cut, Pulse Coag, Micro & Macro Bipolar—and offers nine programmable memory settings and ARM safety monitoring for optimal operational flexibility.

Key Features

• Dynamic Response for real-time power adaptation and precise tissue control
• Specialty Modes: Fluids Mode (energy boost in fluid environments), Lap Mode (limits voltage < 2,700 V to reduce capacitive burn risk)
• Pulse Cut & Pulse Coag modes enable controlled cutting bursts and reduced thermal spread
• Nine user‑programmable presets for fast, surgeon‑specific setup
• ARM (Automatic Return Monitor) ensures grounding pad safety
• Dual monopolar and bipolar outputs (Micro/Macro Bipolar) with audible/visual feedback
• Remote power control via standard electrosurgical pencil for intraoperative adjustments
• Validated for da Vinci robotic systems with custom energy activation cabling
