The disposable Cautery Tip Cleaner is a single use sterile product. Its intended use is as an electrosurgical accessory to clean uncoated cautery blades that are part of an electrosurgical pencil. The cautery blade is "scratched" on the cautery tip cleaner to remove eschar build-up during surgical procedures to allow the cautery blade to function effectively throughout the procedure. The product is usually placed somewhere on the sterile field, typically on the mayo stand. This product does not come in contact with the patient.
The disposable Cautery Tip Cleaner is a small 2" x 2" square polyurethane foam pad which features a textile abrasive layer with an adhesive backing. A radiopaque strip within the adhesive makes the device x-ray detectable. The adhesive backing allows for universal placement as well as allowing the device to remain in place while the tip of the electrosurgical cauterization device is "scratched" on the abrasive surface to remove eschar buildup.
