Endoscopic monopolar electrosurgical handpieces are single-use tools designed for cutting, coagulating, or ablating tissue during minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopy or arthroscopy. The device delivers electrical current from a generator to tissue via a long, thin electrode, often paired with a suction/irrigation lumen for fluid control and sometimes equipped with magnetic sensors for precise navigation.
These devices are typically classified as single-use and require a separate return electrode for patient grounding. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to medical device standards for electrosurgical equipment, with compliance requirements depending on their intended use and risk profile.
