Conclusion

The above-stated principles and characteristics have been the basis for developing the first domestic high-frequency electrosurgical type Endotom-1 apparatus for endoscopy. Medical tests of apparatus prototypes in the endoscopic departments of the Scientific-Research Institute of Proctology of the Ministry of Health, RSFSR, VONTS Academy of Medical Sciences USSR, and I. M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Institute have demonstrated that the Endotrom-1 apparatus is not inferior to the best foreign models (UES, Acmitom, and others), while with respect to a number of parameters it surpasses them (effectiveness of hemostasis, localization of coagulation, amount of carbon deposit on the electrodes, etc.). The Endotom-1 apparatus has been recommended for serial production by a resolution of the Commission on New Medical Technology of the Ministry of Health of the USSR in 1987.
