Description

The Bovie Resistick II Coated 45 Degree Angled Blade Electrode (#ES18T / 12 per Box) is expertly coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Resisting eschar build-up, the electrode moves more effectively through tissue, increasing efficiency during surgical procedures.

Warranty: Until Use or Expiration.

Unlike common stainless steel electrodes with a propensity to accumulate the discarded blood and tissue, Resistick II coated electrodes simply wipe clean. Just use a damp sponge or cloth to almost effortlessly clean the debris off.

To guarantee the consistency and thickness of the Resistick II coating, Bovie utilizes an ionic backscatter measuring system which helps promote accurate and consistent coating thickness. By controlling the thickness of the coating, Resistick II by Bovie gives the surgeon the optimal performance in each of the different coated electrode styles.

Literature

Frequently asked questions

What material are these electrodes coated with, and how is the coating applied?

The Bovie Resistick II electrodes are coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This coating is applied using an ionic backscatter measuring system to ensure consistent thickness.

How many electrodes are included in one box?

Each box contains 12 individual Bovie Resistick II Coated 45 Degree Angled Blade Electrodes.

Are these electrodes sterile and disposable?

Yes, the Bovie Resistick II electrodes are sterile and intended for single-use to prevent cross-contamination.

Does the Resistick II coating effectively reduce eschar?

Yes, the PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating on the Resistick II electrode is specifically designed to significantly resist eschar (discarded blood and tissue) accumulation, ensuring maximum surgical efficiency.This specialized coating offers several advantages over traditional stainless steel electrodes:* Minimized Eschar Buildup: The PTFE material actively prevents debris from sticking, allowing the electrode to glide through tissue more effectively.* Easier Cleaning: Debris can be wiped away almost effortlessly with a damp sponge or cloth.* Consistent Quality: Bovie rigorously controls the coating thickness using an ionic backscatter measuring system to guarantee uniform performance across all units.

What type of surgical procedures are these electrodes best suited for?

The Bovie Resistick II electrodes are designed for electrosurgical procedures requiring precise tissue cutting and coagulation. The 45-degree angle provides enhanced access and visibility in certain surgical applications.

Is the electrode coated to resist eschar buildup?

Yes, the Bovie Resistick II electrode is specifically engineered to resist eschar and tissue buildup.

This benefit is achieved through:

  • PTFE Coating: The instrument is expertly coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a specialized material that actively minimizes the accumulation of discarded blood and tissue.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: The coating allows the electrode to glide more effectively through tissue, enhancing surgical efficiency compared to uncoated stainless steel electrodes.
  • Easy Cleanup: Maintenance is simplified as debris can be wiped away almost effortlessly using just a damp sponge or cloth.
  • Consistent Performance: The coating thickness is rigorously controlled using an ionic backscatter measuring system to ensure consistent results.
Are these electrodes easy to clean?

Yes, these electrodes are designed for exceptionally easy cleanup, which helps maximize surgical efficiency.

This is thanks to the specialized coating:

  • PTFE Coating: The electrodes are expertly coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which actively resists the buildup of eschar (discarded blood and tissue).
  • Simple Maintenance: Unlike standard stainless steel electrodes, the debris on the coated surface can be wiped away almost effortlessly using just a damp sponge or cloth.
What is the angle of the blade on this electrode?

The electrode has a 45-degree angled blade to improve access and visualization of the surgical site.

Is coating thickness rigorously controlled?

Yes, the coating thickness is rigorously controlled to ensure consistent and optimal performance throughout the electrode’s use.

Bovie achieves this consistency by utilizing an advanced ionic backscatter measuring system to precisely monitor and guarantee the uniform thickness of the PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating. This commitment to quality ensures the coating effectively resists eschar buildup, improving surgical efficiency.

What is the length of this electrode?

The Bovie Resistick II Coated 45 Degree Angled Blade Electrode is 2.75 inches (6.98 cm) in length. This size applies to the 45-degree angled blade configuration (MPN: ES18T).
