These electrosurgical devices are designed for cutting of soft tissue and coagulation.
The unimed Coated Laparoscopic Electrode, unimed Coated Arthroscopy Electrode and the unimed Coated Suction-Irrigation Electrode are coated with Emralon 333 or Teflon 420-104. Both are dry lubricants which provide a low coefficient of friction and reduce eschar build-up during surgery and the need for higher power settings. Without eschar build-up that takes place with a standard stainless steel tip less scraping and inconvenience takes place resulting in greater OR efficiency. Each coating is non-toxic, corrosion resistant, and therefore safe for the patient and the OR staff. These electrosurgical devices are designed for cutting of soft tissue and coagulation. The electrodes are available in a variety of diameters, lengths and tip configurations. The electrodes are available sterile, single use only.
