ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode (5/Case)

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode is designed for precise surgical control and enhanced patient safety during electrosurgery. The design incorporates several key features to maximize surgeon precision:

• Adjustable Tip Exposure: The electrode features an extendable and lockable tip protector, allowing the surgeon to precisely set the working length as required for varied surgical depths.
• Extended Insulation: Insulation is extended at the base of the tip, which minimizes collateral desiccation and provides greater control during tissue interaction.
• J-Hook Tip: The specialized J-hook configuration facilitates focused electrode contact for highly specific surgical applications.

Additionally, an optional Stealth ER Eschar Resistant Coating is available to reduce eschar buildup, helping to ensure consistent performance throughout the procedure.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode is specifically designed for seamless integration with the ConMed Universal Plus Control Handles.

To ensure proper function and safety during electrosurgery, this electrode must be used with model #60-6010 of the Universal Plus Control Handles.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode is offered in multiple working lengths to accommodate different surgical depths and needs. They all share a 5 mm diameter and are compatible with the #60-6010 Universal Plus Control Handles.

The available lengths are:

• 27 cm
• 32 cm
• 44 cm

Additionally, most configurations are available with an optional Stealth ER Eschar Resistant Coating (non-stick surface) designed to resist eschar buildup, which helps minimize thermal necrosis and surgical smoke.

Yes, the Stealth ER Eschar Resistant Coating is optionally available for these electrodes. This specialized non-stick surface is designed to significantly improve safety and efficiency during electrosurgery by resisting the buildup of burnt tissue (eschar).

Key benefits of choosing the Stealth ER Coating include:

• Resists Eschar Buildup: Prevents tissue accumulation on the J-hook tip, ensuring consistent performance.
• Minimizes Thermal Necrosis: Reduces potential collateral desiccation (unwanted tissue damage).
• Decreases Surgical Smoke: Contributes to a clearer and safer operative environment.

This optional feature is available for selection across all configurations and working lengths (27 cm, 32 cm, and 44 cm).

Yes, the extendable and lockable tip protector is a key feature designed specifically to enhance both surgical control and patient safety during electrosurgery. This is achieved through multiple benefits:

• Adjustable Exposure and Control: The tip protector is extendable and lockable, allowing the surgeon to precisely adjust the exposed working length of the J-Hook tip. This ensures highly controlled manipulation.
• Viscera Protection During Suctioning: When the device is used for suctioning, the protector can be extended to shield the electrode. This is critical for protecting surrounding tissue (viscera) from unintended contact.
• Minimized Collateral Desiccation: Enhanced safety is further ensured by the extended insulation located at the base of the electrode tip, which minimizes the potential for collateral desiccation (unintended tissue damage).

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode features extended insulation located at the base of the tip specifically to enhance patient safety and provide the surgeon with better control.

This crucial safety element works by:

• Minimizing Collateral Desiccation: It significantly reduces the potential for unintended thermal damage to surrounding tissue or viscera during electrosurgery.
• Aiding Precise Control: By limiting the unintentional spread of energy, the insulation supports the surgeon in achieving accurate manipulation and better control throughout the procedure.

Each case of the ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode contains 5 factory-new electrodes.

The Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode features a standardized 5 mm diameter. This sizing is engineered to optimize precise control and handling, and it is specifically designed for use with the compatible #60-6010 Universal Plus Control Handles.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus J-Hook Extendable Electrode features an extendable and lockable tip protector that enables precise adjustment and control during electrosurgery.This design ensures optimal patient safety and precise operation by allowing the surgeon to:* Vary Tip Exposure: Accurately set and secure the required working length.* Protect Tissue: Utilize the extended protector to shield surrounding viscera during procedures such as suctioning.The J-hook tip design further facilitates specific applications requiring highly focused electrode contact.

Yes, the optional Stealth ER Eschar Resistant Coating (also known as Stealth Coating) is a specialized non-stick surface designed to enhance performance during electrosurgery.

This coating actively resists the buildup of eschar (charred tissue) on the electrode surface, offering critical clinical benefits:

• Resists Eschar Buildup: Ensures continuous efficiency and reduces the need for frequent cleaning during procedures.
• Reduces Thermal Necrosis: By maintaining a cleaner surface, it helps minimize potential collateral tissue damage.
• Decreases Surgical Smoke: The improved performance and cleaner tip contribute to a reduction in surgical smoke generation.
