Description

The Bovie Resistick II Coated Standard 5 mm Ball Electrode (#ES20T / 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

How does Resistick II coating enhance electrosurgical procedures?

The PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating on the Bovie Resistick II electrode significantly enhances electrosurgical procedures by:

  • Reducing eschar buildup: This allows for smoother and more efficient movement through tissue.
  • Improving surgical efficiency: Less eschar means less time spent cleaning the electrode.
  • Ensuring optimal performance: A consistent coating thickness is guaranteed by Bovie’s ionic backscatter measuring system, which contributes to its overall reliability.
Does a box include 12 sterile electrodes?

Yes, each box contains 12 Bovie Resistick II Ball Electrodes. They are supplied sterile and intended for single-use application, which eliminates the need for cleaning and sterilization procedures.

Is this electrode designed for single-use?

Yes, the Bovie Disposable Sterile Resistick II Coated Standard 5mm Ball Electrode is intended for single-use only. This helps to maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination between patients.

What are the dimensions of the ball electrode?

The Bovie Resistick II Coated Standard Ball Electrode has a tip size of 4.78 mm and a shaft length of 2 inches (5.08 cm).

Is the electrode easy to clean?

Yes, the Bovie Resistick II is specifically designed for quick and efficient cleanup during procedures.

  • The advanced PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating resists eschar buildup far better than standard stainless steel, allowing the electrode to move more effectively through tissue.
  • For in-procedure cleaning, debris can be quickly wiped off using only a damp sponge or cloth.

Note that this electrode is supplied sterile and intended for single-use, disposable application.

What manufacturing process ensures consistent coating quality?

The Bovie Disposable Sterile Resistick II Coated Standard 5mm Ball Electrode features an Ionic Backscatter measuring system during manufacturing. This ensures the PTFE coating thickness is consistent, leading to optimal performance and reliability.

Does the coating maximize surgical efficiency?

Yes, the specialized PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating is designed to maximize procedural efficiency through several key benefits:<ul><li>Resists Eschar Buildup: The coating actively resists the accumulation of eschar (discarded blood and tissue) compared to standard stainless steel electrodes.</li><li>Enhanced Tissue Efficiency: The non-stick surface allows the electrode to glide more effectively and smoothly through tissue.</li><li>Saves Time: Cleaning is simplified; debris can be quickly wiped away using only a damp sponge or cloth, reducing critical procedural downtime.</li></ul>

How does this electrode resist eschar buildup?

The Bovie Resistick II Coated Standard 5 mm Ball Electrode resists eschar buildup due to its advanced design features:

  • PTFE Coating: The electrode is expertly coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which significantly reduces eschar buildup.
  • Consistent Coating Thickness: Bovie’s Ionic Backscatter Measurement System guarantees consistent coating thickness, ensuring optimal performance and smooth movement through tissue.

These features enhance surgical efficiency and reduce the need for frequent cleaning.

Does this electrode improve surgical efficiency?

The Bovie Disposable Sterile Resistick II Coated Standard 5mm Ball Electrode is designed to minimize eschar build-up, which allows the electrode to move through tissue more effectively, enhancing the overall efficiency of electrosurgical procedures.

Is this electrode latex-free?

Yes, the Bovie Resistick II Coated Standard 5 mm Ball Electrode is latex-free, making it safe for patients and clinicians with latex allergies.
