Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What surgical procedures are these electrodes designed for?
These electrodes are specifically designed for use in electrosurgical procedures within obstetrics and gynecology. Their four distinct shapes—blade, ball, needle, and loop—allow for precise tissue manipulation, coagulation, or cutting during surgeries such as cesarean sections, hysteroscopies, or other gynecological interventions.
Are these electrodes reusable or single-use?
These electrodes are intended for single-use only. This design ensures sterility and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients, which is critical in clinical settings where infection control is paramount.
What shaft size do these electrodes use, and why is this important?
These electrodes feature a standard 3/32-inch (0.24 cm) stainless steel shaft, ensuring compatibility with most electrosurgical systems. This standardization simplifies integration into existing surgical workflows and guarantees reliable performance during procedures.
How are these electrodes supplied, and what precautions should be taken?
The electrodes are supplied as sterile, single-use devices, packaged for immediate clinical use. They should be stored in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve sterility and functionality until use.
What regulatory clearance do these electrodes hold?
These electrodes hold FDA 510(k) clearance under the classification of Class II medical devices, with a clearance number of K942986. This clearance confirms they meet regulatory standards for safety and effectiveness in their intended use.
