Blade Electrode
A Blade Electrode is a fundamental electrosurgical instrument used for precise cutting and coagulation of tissue during surgical procedures. It consists of a thin, flat, or angled metal blade connected to an electrosurgical generator (ESU). When activated, the blade conducts high-frequency electrical current, allowing it to incise tissue with controlled thermal effect while simultaneously sealing small blood vessels. This dual action provides a cleaner surgical field with reduced blood loss compared to a traditional scalpel. Blade electrodes come in various shapes (straight, curved, extended) to suit different surgical specialties and access needs.
Key Functions & Surgical Applications:
-
Electrosurgical Cutting:Â Uses focused current to vaporize cells along a precise line for incision.
-
Simultaneous Hemostasis:Â The electrical energy coagulates small vessels as it cuts, minimizing bleeding.
-
Monopolar Configuration:Â Requires a separate patient return electrode (dispersive pad) to complete the circuit.
-
Versatile Shapes:Â Includes straight blades for linear cuts, curved blades for improved visibility and access, and extended or angled tips for deep or awkward spaces.
-
Disposable or Reusable:Â Available as single-use sterile items or as reusable blades for use with a dedicated handpiece.
-
Specialty Use:Â Common in general surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, gynecology, and ENT procedures.
