An electrosurgical pencil is a handheld medical device commonly used in surgical procedures. It utilizes high-frequency electrical currents to cut, coagulate, or vaporize tissues for therapeutic purposes.
An electrosurgical pencil consists of an electrode handle, an electrode tip (electrosurgical pencil head), a high-frequency cable, and a plug.
The electrosurgical pencil, also known as an ablation electrode, is an accessory for the electrosurgical generator. During use, the electrosurgical pencil connects to the generator through a three-core plug. Electrical current flows through the power cable, the electrosurgical pencil, and the patient's return electrode, forming a complete circuit to perform tissue cutting and coagulation.
The electrosurgical pencil body must have excellent sealing to prevent electrical leakage. The upper and lower shells should be tightly welded, often using an injection-molded one-piece design.
The internal PCB board soldering is a crucial step. The circuit board is often covered with a heat-shrinkable sleeve to enhance insulation and waterproofing.
The pencil's cable is made of high-elasticity material, designed to prevent tangling and breaking. It is built to withstand insulation voltages exceeding 3600V.
Cutting: The electrosurgical pencil uses the heat generated by the high-frequency current to cut tissues with minimal bleeding. The cutting surface remains relatively clean and precise.
Coagulation: By applying a lower power current, the electrosurgical pencil evaporates the water within tissues, sealing blood vessels and achieving hemostasis.
Vaporization: Through the high-temperature effect of the electrical current, localized tissue is vaporized, making it suitable for removing or reducing diseased tissue.
