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: Uses focused current to vaporize cells along a precise line for incision.

• Simultaneous Hemostasis: The electrical energy coagulates small vessels as it cuts, minimizing bleeding.

• Monopolar Configuration: Requires a separate patient return electrode (dispersive pad) to complete the circuit.

• Versatile Shapes: 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: Available as single-use sterile items or as reusable blades for use with a dedicated handpiece.

• Specialty Use: Common in general surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, gynecology, and ENT procedures.
