Electrosurgical dermatological curet

摘要

A novel electrode for use in an electrosurgical dermatological curretage procedure. It comprises a blade-shaped loop formed by folding a blade-shaped band to form at its center a generally circular loop with a sharpened edge. The electrode is uniquely configured to fit into a commercially available blade handpiece. The procedure using the electrode of the invention is based on performing essentially the same kind of dermatological excisions as was used heretofore but the structure of the electrosurgical electrode of the invention uses electrosurgical currents to excise or scoop out the diseased tissue and simultaneously electrocoagulates blood vessels and destroys any diseased tissue adjacent to and underlying the cavity or area that was curettaged.
