Electrosurgical Electrodes

Electrosurgical Electrodes are the active components of electrosurgical systems, delivering high-frequency electrical energy from a generator to patient tissue to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate. They come in a vast array of shapes and functionalities—including blades, needles, loops, balls, and forceps—each designed for a specific surgical task. By completing the electrical circuit (monopolar or bipolar), they allow surgeons to perform precise dissection with simultaneous hemostasis, reducing blood loss and operating time. Their proper selection and use are critical for safe and effective surgical outcomes across all disciplines.

Primary Types & Surgical Functions:
– Monopolar Electrodes: Require a separate patient return electrode (grounding pad). Examples include blade electrodes for cutting, ball electrodes for coagulation/desiccation, and needle electrodes for pinpoint coagulation.
– Bipolar Electrodes: Incorporate both active and return electrodes in a single tip (e.g., bipolar forceps), limiting current flow to the tissue grasped between the tips, which enhances safety and precision, especially in delicate areas.
– Cutting vs. Coagulation: Blade/Needle tips are for cutting; Ball/Loop tips are primarily for coagulation and tissue removal (e.g., polypectomy).
– Disposable & Reusable: Available as single-use, sterile items or as reusable attachments for autoclavable handpieces.
– Specialty Designs: Include suction coagulators (combine suction and coagulation), extended tips for deep cavities, and insulated shafts to protect surrounding tissue.
