ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode

The ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode is designed for use exclusively with the ConMed #60-6010 Universal Plus Control Handles.

This compatibility is necessary to ensure proper function and leverage the electrode’s advanced features, such as the extendable and lockable tip protector for precise electrosurgical control.

The ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode is conveniently packaged with 5 units per case.

The ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode features extended insulation at the base of the electrode tip, which is a key design element for enhancing patient safety and control during electrosurgery. This feature provides two main benefits:

• Minimizes Collateral Desiccation: The extended insulation restricts the thermal spread, actively working to minimize the potential for thermal injury (collateral desiccation) to surrounding tissues.
• Enhances Surgeon Control: By providing insulation closer to the active tip, it ensures greater safety and integrity during procedures, allowing the surgeon to maintain precise and accurate control.

Yes, the high-performance Stealth ER Eschar Resistant Coating is an optional feature. Shoppers can select between the standard electrode (no coating) or configurations that include this specialized, non-stick coating.

Choosing the Stealth ER coating provides several benefits in electrosurgery:

• Resists Eschar Build-up: Helps maintain electrode efficiency throughout the procedure by preventing tissue accumulation.
• Reduces Thermal Necrosis: Limits potential collateral thermal damage by minimizing eschar formation.
• Decreases Surgical Smoke: Contributes to a clearer and safer operative environment.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode features an extendable and lockable tip protector designed to ensure precise surgeon control and enhanced patient safety during electrosurgery.

This crucial locking feature provides several functional benefits:

• Customized Exposure: Surgeons can precisely adjust and secure (lock) the working length of the L-hook tip, exposing only the necessary portion for the procedure.
• Viscera Protection: The tip protector can be utilized to cover the electrode, shielding delicate viscera when performing simultaneous operations like suctioning.
• Enhanced Safety: The electrode also incorporates extended insulation at the base of the tip, which minimizes the potential for collateral desiccation and provides greater operational control.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode originates from the US.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode features an extendable and lockable tip protector designed for secure, controlled electrosurgery. The locking mechanism ensures precise control over the exposed length of the L-Hook tip. This functionality provides several benefits:

• Secure Exposure: Surgeons can accurately set and fix the required length of the electrode tip exposure throughout the procedure.
• Viscera Protection: The lockable protector covers the electrode tip, helping to shield surrounding viscera, particularly during suctioning and irrigation.
• Patient Safety: The electrode is also built with extended insulation at the tip’s base to minimize the potential for collateral desiccation.

The ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode is offered in three distinct lengths to accommodate different surgical requirements. All configurations share a consistent 5 mm diameter.

The available lengths are:

• 27 cm
• 32 cm
• 44 cm

These multiple length options are designed to provide the necessary reach and versatility for various surgical depths.

Yes, the ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode maintains a consistent 5 mm diameter across all available configurations.

This standard specification applies regardless of the chosen length (27 cm, 32 cm, or 44 cm) or whether the optional Stealth ER Eschar Resistant Coating is utilized.

Yes, a key feature of the ConMed Universal Plus L-Hook Extendable Electrode is its extendable and lockable tip protector, which is engineered to provide precise, variable tip exposure during electrosurgical procedures. This design offers several significant benefits:

• Customizable Exposure: The tip can be adjusted and locked to provide the exact length required for specific surgical maneuvers.
• Enhanced Safety: The extendable feature aids in protecting surrounding viscera (internal organs) during suctioning and helps direct flow during irrigation.
• Increased Control: Extended insulation at the base of the electrode tip further enhances patient safety and surgeon control while minimizing the potential for collateral desiccation.
