SUCTION COAGULATOR WITH DISSECTING PROBE

摘要

An electrosurgical suction coagulator includes a handle having an elongated tube electrode or conductive suction tube extending from a distal end of the handle. The elongated suction tube includes a substantially blunt or closed distal end and an elongated slot disposed therethrough for slideably receiving a needle electrode. The needle electrode is selectively extendible relative to the closed distal end to facilitate precise dissection. When retracted, the user can use the closed distal end for spot or blunt coagulation. At least one aspiration port is disposed along a side of the elongated suction tube for removing surgical fluids from the operating area.
