Endoscopic bipolar electrosurgical handpieces and electrodes are reusable devices used in minimally invasive surgeries like laparoscopy or arthroscopy. They deliver controlled electrical current to tissues for precise cutting, coagulation, or ablation, often integrated with suction or irrigation for enhanced procedural control.
These devices are typically reprocessed for single-use after initial use, adhering to strict sterilization and validation standards. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk level and reprocessing methods, ensuring compliance with medical device safety guidelines.
