Diathermy Machine Price in Kenya

A surgical diathermy machine, also called an electrosurgical unit, uses high frequency current to cut tissue and stop bleeding during surgery. In Kenya it is standard kit in theatre, in maternity units doing caesarean sections and in busy day surgery clinics.

Diathermy machine price in Kenya

Machine Output Price
400W Surgical Diathermy Electrosurgical Unit 400 watts KES 200,500
Promise Surgical Diathermy Machine Theatre grade KES 240,500

Prices shown include VAT and are current. Very cheap units advertised below KES 100,000 are usually low output desk models meant for minor skin procedures, not theatre work.

What moves the price

Power output. A 400 watt unit handles general surgery comfortably. Units under 200 watts struggle on deep tissue and on larger patients.

Monopolar and bipolar. Monopolar only is cheaper. A unit that does both costs more and is safer for delicate work.

Safety features. Return electrode monitoring warns you when the patient plate is not making proper contact. It is worth paying for.

Accessories. Pencil, footswitch, patient plates and cables are consumables. Ask what is in the box and what a replacement set costs.

What to check before you buy

  • Confirm the unit is registered with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board.
  • Ask for the warranty in writing and who carries out the service.
  • Check that spare pencils and plates are stocked locally, not imported per order.
  • Test the alarm on the patient plate before you accept delivery.
  • Confirm the voltage suits your supply and ask whether a stabiliser is advised.

Common questions

How long does a diathermy machine last? A well serviced theatre unit runs for eight to twelve years. The pencils and plates are replaced far more often.

Do you install and train staff? Yes. We site the unit, test it and take your theatre team through safe use before handover.

Can a clinic buy one on payment terms? Talk to us about it. We handle facility purchases and can quote for a county or NGO tender.
