Frequently asked questions
Does the tungsten tip maintain shape during procedures?
Yes. The tungsten wire tip is specifically engineered to provide exceptional structural integrity. This ensures the electrode maintains its shape throughout rigorous excision procedures, providing the precision required for high-performance clinical tasks.
Will this fit my current electrosurgical pencils?
The electrode is designed with a standard 3/32-inch stainless steel shaft, making it compatible with the vast majority of electrosurgical pencils currently used in clinical environments.
Does the tip design improve histopathology results?
Absolutely. The specialized tip is designed to minimize thermal tissue damage. By reducing heat trauma to surrounding tissue during excision, the electrode facilitates the collection of superior, high-quality histopathology specimens.
Is the electrode protected during transit?
Yes. Each electrode is individually sterile-packaged in a patented protective tray system. This specialized packaging prevents the needle from bending or deforming, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition for use.
Is this product made with natural rubber latex?
No. The McKesson Argent Needle Electrode is not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for clinical environments that require latex-free surgical instruments.
Is the electrode intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a single-use, disposable instrument. For safety and sterility reasons, you should never attempt to re-sterilize the device after it has been used on a patient.
Are there specific safety precautions for the environment?
Yes. Due to the nature of electrosurgical procedures, these electrodes must not be used in the presence of:
- Flammable gases
- Combustible materials
- Oxygen-rich environments
How many electrodes are included in a box?
Each box contains 50 sterile needle electrodes, with each unit individually sealed in its own protective sterile tray.
What is the primary material composition?
The electrode features a high-quality stainless steel shaft combined with a specialized tungsten wire tip to ensure consistent performance during surgical coagulation and excision.
What is the total length of the electrode?
The electrode has a total length of 2.84 inches, providing a balance of reach and control for delicate surgical tasks.
