Description

The Bovie Resistick II Coated Modified Needle Electrode (#ES38T / 12 per Box) is expertly coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Resisting eschar buildup, the electrode moves more effectively through tissue, increasing efficiency during surgical procedures. Simply use a damp sponge or cloth to clean any debris off.

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. Standard stainless steel electrodes are unquestionably much more difficult to clean. As they say, "Time is Money!"

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 20 different coated electrode styles.

Frequently asked questions

Does the electrode use high-quality PTFE coating?

Yes, this electrode features the proprietary Resistick II PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, which significantly enhances surgical efficiency.

Key benefits of this high-quality coating include:

  • Eschar Resistance: It prevents tissue and blood debris build-up, allowing the electrode to move more effectively through tissue than standard stainless steel.
  • Effortless Cleaning: The non-stick surface wipes clean easily with a damp sponge or cloth, reducing procedural downtime.
  • Guaranteed Quality: Bovie uses an Ionic Backscatter measuring system to ensure consistent thickness and quality of the Resistick II coating across all units for reliable performance.
How does the Resistick II coating enhance performance?

The Resistick II coating significantly enhances performance and efficiency during electrosurgery. It is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which offers several critical advantages over standard stainless steel electrodes:

  • Resists Eschar Build-up: The specialized coating prevents discarded blood and tissue (eschar) from accumulating, allowing the electrode to glide more effectively through tissue and maintain cutting efficiency throughout the procedure.
  • Faster Cleaning: The non-stick surface allows staff to wipe the electrode clean almost effortlessly with just a damp sponge or cloth, minimizing procedural downtime.
  • Consistent Quality: Bovie guarantees performance consistency using an Ionic Backscatter measuring system to ensure uniform coating thickness across every unit.
What is the length of each Bovie disposable needle electrode?

Each Bovie disposable needle electrode has a length of 2.75 inches (6.98 cm).

Are these electrodes reusable or disposable?

These electrodes are disposable and intended for single-use to maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination.

How are these electrodes packaged?

The Bovie Disposable Sterile Resistick II Coated Modified Needle Electrodes are sold in a box of 12.

Does the PTFE coating enhance surgical efficiency?

Yes, the specialized Resistick II PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating is designed specifically to significantly enhance efficiency and performance during electrosurgical procedures. It is a key selling point for this product.

Key benefits of the coating include:

  • Resists Eschar Build-up: The non-stick surface greatly reduces the accumulation of discarded blood and tissue debris, ensuring the electrode maintains consistent performance throughout the procedure.
  • Effective Tissue Movement: By minimizing debris, the electrode glides more smoothly and effectively through tissue, which is crucial for precision.
  • Saves Time: The coating allows for quick and easy cleaning—the surface can be wiped clean effortlessly with just a damp sponge or cloth, minimizing procedural downtime.
  • Consistent Quality: Bovie guarantees uniform coating quality using an Ionic Backscatter measuring system to ensure consistent thickness across all units.
Is the Resistick II coating thickness consistent?

Yes, Bovie maintains rigorous quality assurance for their Resistick II coating.

They utilize an Ionic Backscatter measuring system to precisely regulate and guarantee the consistent thickness and quality of the PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating. This ensures optimal performance, including superior eschar resistance and near-effortless cleaning.

Does the coating reduce eschar buildup?

Yes, the PTFE coating is designed to minimize eschar build-up, allowing for smoother tissue movement and more efficient procedures.

Are these electrodes easy to clean?

The specialized PTFE coating makes the electrodes easy to clean, as blood and tissue debris can be quickly wiped away with a damp sponge or cloth.

Does this electrode use a specialized PTFE coating?

Yes, this is the Bovie Disposable Sterile Resistick II Coated Modified Needle Electrode, which features a specialized PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating.

This advanced coating is engineered to significantly enhance surgical efficiency:

  • Eschar Resistance: The PTFE surface prevents the buildup of eschar (discarded blood and tissue), allowing the electrode to move more effectively and smoothly through tissue than standard stainless steel electrodes.
  • Effortless Cleaning: The non-stick surface allows debris, blood, and tissue to be cleaned almost instantly with just a damp sponge or cloth, minimizing procedural downtime.
  • Consistent Quality: Bovie utilizes an Ionic Backscatter measuring system to ensure the coating thickness is precisely consistent and uniform for optimal performance.

This modified needle electrode (Catalog Number ES38T) includes extended insulation, measures 2.75 inches (6.98 cm) in length, and is supplied sterile and packaged 12 units per box.
