Description

The Return Electrode with 3M Cable, Adult is a medical device designed for use in electrosurgical procedures. It serves as a grounding pad to safely return electrical current from the patient to the electrosurgical generator, completing the circuit and preventing unintended thermal injury. The electrode is specifically designed for adult patients and ensures optimal contact with the skin to minimize resistance and maximize patient safety.

This return electrode features a 3-meter cable, allowing flexibility in positioning the pad relative to the surgical site and generator. The cable is insulated to prevent interference and ensure secure transmission of electrical current. The adhesive backing of the electrode is designed for strong yet gentle adhesion to the patient’s skin, reducing the risk of burns while maintaining conductivity.

Proper application and positioning of the electrode are crucial for effective function. It should be placed on a well-vascularized, clean, and dry area of the body, avoiding bony prominences, scar tissue, or areas with excessive hair. Secure attachment ensures even current distribution, reducing the risk of localized heating or burns.
