For use with electrosurgical generators that have the accessory finger tip activation feature to control bleeding through the use of suction and cautery.

The monopolar electrosurgical device consists of an electrically conducting cannula which has plastic electrical insulation on it's exterior surface. This cannula fits into a plastic handle that has a central axial passage in line with the suction hole of the cannula. This suction hole leads to a suction hose fitting molded into the aft end of the handle. During use a hose connected to an external suction source is connected to the handle's suction fitting to provide suction to the cannula. A bleed hole in the handle allows the surgeon to control the amount of suction with his fingertip. High frequency power is supplied to the device through a 10 foot long power cord which enters the aft end of the handle and is internally connected to the cannula and switching circuitry. The distal end of the power cord has a standard plug that fits into most electrosurgical generators that have the accessory fingertip control option. The surgeon activates the cautery tip by pressing a push button located near the suction bleed hole. The new device will be marketed in cannula french size 10 with a 6 inch length.
