Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Disposable Hand-Switching ESU Pencil is an electrosurgical device classified under the product code GEI (General and Plastic Surgery Electrosurgical Devices). It is designed for use in electrosurgery procedures, allowing the operator to control activation via a built-in hand-switch while maintaining precision during tissue dissection, coagulation, or cutting. Constructed as a single-use, disposable unit, it integrates a pencil-style electrode tip for direct application to surgical sites. This device is intended for use with electrosurgical units (ESU) to deliver controlled electrical energy for surgical purposes.
This device is supplied as a sterile, single-use item, intended for one-time surgical use only. It is regulated under the FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway (K925619) and falls under the General and Plastic Surgery category. The disposable design ensures no cross-contamination between patients, and its hand-switch mechanism enables intuitive activation without requiring separate foot pedals.
