<p>An electrosurgical pencil (10) for delivering high frequency cutting and coagulation signals from an electrosurgical generator is disclosed. An elongated, substantially solid pencil housing (14) is provided having a cable receiving end and a blade electrode receiving end opposed from the cable receiving end. A mechanism (34) may be provided within the pencil housing (14) for bending of the pencil housing (14) between the cable receiving end and the blade electrode receiving end. Additionally, a mechanism (24) may be provided within the electrosurgical pencil (10) for retaining a bent position of the pencil housing (14). The electrosurgical pencil (10) of the present design may be a foot controlled electrosurgical pencil or may include a manually actuated switch (40) encapsulated within the pencil housing (14) to form a hand controlled electrosurgical pencil (10).</p> |
