1. Functional Overview
Primarily used for tissue manipulation, dissection, and coagulation during laparoscopic surgeries.
Uses monopolar energy to coagulate and cut tissue, often in general surgery, gynecology, and urology.
2. Design Features
Monopolar Energy: Delivered through a single electrode, allowing for cutting and coagulation of tissue.
Ergonomic Handle: Comfortable grip for precise control during procedures.
Insulated Shaft: Prevents unintended tissue contact and ensures energy is only directed through the active tip.
Variety of Tip Sizes: Available in different jaw sizes and tip configurations depending on the surgical need.
3. Technical Specifications
Power Source: Compatible with standard electrosurgical generators with monopolar output.
Shaft Length: Typically 3345 cm for laparoscopic access.
Jaw Length: Varies (e.g., 5mm, 10mm) depending on the model and procedure.
Material: Stainless steel construction with high-quality insulation.
Electrode Tip: Sharp or blunt tips available for different surgical applications.
4. Usability
Sterilization: Can be sterilized using autoclave or used as disposable for single-use models.
Compatibility: Fits most standard laparoscopic ports (5mm or 10mm).
Safety Features: Equipped with safety mechanisms to prevent accidental burns or electrical discharge.
