Device Description
Disposable neutral electrodes are part of a family of patient return electrodes. They are non-sterile, single-use devices used in electrosurgery to complete the electrical circuit with the generator. Providing a low-impedance path back to the generator through the return electrodes helps to prevent unintended HF burns. The solid electrosurgical pads are designed to be compatible with generators without Contact Quality Monitoring System (CQMS), and the split electrosurgical pads are designed to be compatible with the Contact Quality Monitoring System (CQMS) of compatible generators. The models share the same design elements (functional design, technology design, packaging, etc.) but have different sizes and shapes. The models are designed for adults, children, and neonates, separate catalog numbers are assigned for the intended patients, and pre-attached cord.
Disposable neutral electrodes consist of foam backing, cable connection area, conductive aluminum foil, conductive adhesive gel layer and release liner. The pads are applied on a release liner. The surface of the conductive aluminum foil is fully covered with a soft, conformable conductive adhesive gel.
The electrode backing is made of foam material. The electrodes are supplied with or without cable. For the non-corded pads, a reusable cable is not available as an accessory.
