KENTAMED Ltd. was founded in 1992 by Atanas Tashkov, who already had over 20 years of experience in the development and design of modern microprocessor systems. Within a few years, the small company based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, won the hearts of many Bulgarian doctors and service technicians. Since 1994, the company has focused exclusively on the development and manufacture of electrosurgical equipment. Today, KENTAMED is a well-known brand among doctors and distributors of electrosurgical equipment in many countries around the world. 
In 1995, the first diathermy model, KENTAMED 1, was launched and within a few years became the most popular coagulator in private clinics and practices in Bulgaria. In 2003 and 2010, KENTAMED achieved a breakthrough on the international markets with the second and third generations of its devices and is now represented in over 30 countries worldwide. At the beginning of 2010, the company launched the first model (KENTAMED RF-B) of the fourth generation. All products in this generation are based on Hartt solutions (Hardware Skorygowany Odpowiedź na Tissue Type). They are based on a series of precise load characteristics – separate for each model. In addition, these properties are confirmed by international certificates. Surgical diathermy devices are an important part of the equipment in most operating theatres and are now among the best-known and most frequently used devices by surgeons. This device is used in surgery for cutting with the aid of high-frequency electric current. Surgical diathermy devices differ from electrocautery devices in that both the cutting and coagulation effects can be achieved with a single device. This technique is used for:
- cutting skin and (more commonly) deeper tissues,
- sealing smaller blood vessels with a diameter of up to 2-3 mm,
- the local removal of skin lesions, including haemangiomas, moles and warts.
Surgical diathermy was first developed in 1926 by William Bovie and is based on the electrical generation of heat through the flow of high-frequency current through biological tissue. This technique allows the high-frequency current to cut or coagulate tissue, minimising blood loss and reducing operating time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkbUsD4YRlo Author: P&P Cito 22 June 2015
