New range of insulated electrodes
Megadyne has introduced a new range of E-Z Clean Modified Electrodes with enhanced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulation, designed to further minimize potential thermal injuries during electrosurgery. The enhanced PTFE insulation resists temperatures up to 700[degrees] F (371[degrees] C) and reduces the splitting, cracking, and peeling often seen on electrodes without PTFE insulation. The new electrodes are compatible with all standard hand pieces and are designed specifically for monopolar electrosurgery. Each electrode features the company's proprietary, time-saving Green E-Z Clean PTFE coating, which resists eschar buildup and results in fewer interruptions during procedures. The electrodes are available in four lengths and on Megadyne's rocker switch and button switch electrosurgical hand pieces.
