Dr. William T. Bovie, who was born on September 11, 1882 in Augusta, Michigan. Dr. Bovie received his PhD from Harvard and worked there from 1914-1927. Bovie, along with Neuro-surgeon, Harvey W. Cushing, M.D., is credited with inventing the electrosurgical unit to be known today as the “Bovie”. Over seventy five years later, Aaron Medical continues to improve the work of Dr. Bovie. The work continues today, but our sincere thanks go out to Dr. Cushing and William T. Bovie for their incredible invention.
