The term "Bovie" refers universally to an electrosurgical generator and its associated handpiece, a revolutionary medical device utilized by surgeons to simultaneously cut tissue and coagulate blood vessels using high-frequency electrical currents. Named after its inventor, biophysicist William T. Bovie, the device transformed modern surgery by drastically minimizing intraoperative blood loss, reducing operating times, and enabling delicate procedures across neurosurgery, general surgery, and specialized surgical disciplines.
