Frequently asked questions
How many electrodes are included in each box?
Each box contains 12 Resistick II Coated Extended 5mm Ball Electrodes.
Is the product sterile?
Yes, the product is sterile.
What is the diameter of the ball electrode?
The ball electrode has a diameter of 5mm.
What is the Resistick II coating made of?
The Resistick II coating is made of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene).
Are these electrodes reusable?
No, these electrodes are disposable and intended for single-use to ensure patient safety and eliminate the need for sterilization.
What is the total length of the electrode?
The electrode is 5 inches (12.70cm) long.
How is debris easily removed during the procedure?
These electrodes are sterile and disposable, intended for single use. However, the specialized PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating is engineered to minimize eschar build-up during electrosurgical procedures.
If debris does accumulate, the coating ensures near-effortless cleaning, unlike standard stainless steel electrodes. You can remove accumulated blood and tissue by simply wiping the electrode tip with a damp sponge or cloth to maintain optimal performance.
What ensures consistent coating quality?
The consistency and accuracy of the Resistick II PTFE coating are guaranteed by Bovie’s use of a specialized Ionic Backscatter measuring system during the manufacturing process. This critical control measure ensures:
- The optimal thickness and uniformity of the coating.
- Consistent, high performance for superior tissue movement.
- Maximum effectiveness in resisting eschar build-up.
Does the PTFE coating minimize eschar buildup?
Yes, the electrode features a specialized Resistick II PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating engineered specifically to resist the accumulation of eschar (charred tissue and blood). This coating provides crucial operational advantages:
- Enhanced Tissue Movement: By maintaining a cleaner surface, the electrode glides more effectively through tissue during electrosurgery.
- Effortless Cleaning: Unlike standard stainless steel electrodes, debris accumulation is minimal, allowing for near-effortless cleaning with just a damp sponge or cloth.
- Performance Consistency: Bovie utilizes an Ionic Backscatter measuring system to ensure the consistent thickness and accuracy of the coating across the entire electrode surface.
