L-Hook 5 mm Insulated Electrode laparoscopic monopolar for laparoscopy electrode

The L-Hook 5 mm Insulated Electrode is a specialized surgical tool used in laparoscopic procedures. It is designed to work with monopolar electrosurgical systems, where electrical current is delivered to a target tissue for cutting or coagulation during surgery.

Features:

1. Size: The 5 mm size indicates the diameter of the electrode, which is suitable for precise control in minimally invasive surgeries like laparoscopy.
2. Insulated Shaft: The insulated shaft prevents the electrical current from flowing along the shaft, ensuring that it only flows through the exposed tip. This minimizes the risk of unwanted tissue damage during surgery.
3. L-Hook Design: The L-hook shape allows the surgeon to perform precise dissection, cutting, and coagulation in confined spaces, which is crucial for laparoscopy where access is limited and the working area is small.
4. Monopolar: As a monopolar electrode, it uses a single point of contact, with the return path completed through a grounding pad placed on the patient’s body. The energy flows from the generator to the electrode, through the tissue, and back to the grounding pad.
5. Use in Laparoscopy: This type of electrode is used for various laparoscopic procedures, including cutting, coagulating, or cauterizing tissue during surgeries like cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), appendectomy, or other abdominal procedures.

Advantages:

• Precision: The L-hook design allows for better control and precision when manipulating delicate tissue during laparoscopic surgery.
• Minimized Risk: The insulation on the shaft ensures that energy is only released at the tip, reducing the risk of accidental burns to surrounding tissues.
• Compatibility: It can be used with most standard monopolar electrosurgical units.

It is important for medical professionals to choose the appropriate size and type of electrode based on the surgical procedure to ensure the best outcomes and minimize complications.
