Electrocautery system electrodes are reusable metal components designed to conduct electrical current from a generator to tissue during surgery. Clinically, they are used to cauterize blood vessels (stop bleeding) and remove superficial skin lesions like warts by heating and sealing tissue.
These electrodes are regulated as part of electrocautery systems, often requiring compliance with electrical safety and performance standards. They are typically supplied as reusable components, requiring sterilization between uses, and are classified based on their intended use and risk profile in specific markets.
