Disposable Electrosurgical Plate

The disposable electrosurgical plate consists of a conductive layer and adhesive materials that securely adhere to the patient’s skin. The conductive layer returns the electrical current from the patient’s body to the electrosurgical device, while the adhesive materials ensure the plate stays in place during the surgery, preventing movement. These plates are made from biocompatible and safe materials to avoid sensitivity and burns and are designed for single-use to minimize the risk of infection.

Disposable electrosurgical plates come in various sizes and types to meet the diverse needs of patients and surgical procedures:

Larger plates: Suitable for major and long-duration surgeries that require more skin contact.
Smaller plates: Used for smaller surgeries or patients who require less skin contact.
Split plates: These plates are divided into two separate sections, providing added safety. If one part detaches from the skin, the electrical current is interrupted, preventing injury.
Heat-sensitive plates: Equipped with special sensors, these plates provide warnings if the temperature rises due to connection issues or current leakage, preventing burns.

The use of disposable plates in electrosurgical procedures increases patient safety and minimizes the risk of burns and electrical complications. These plates also reduce the need for disinfection and, being single-use, lower the risk of infection while making the healthcare provider’s work easier. Split plates, offering enhanced safety, are often used in sensitive or lengthy surgeries.

Disposable electrosurgical plates are an essential and vital component of electrosurgical devices, available in various sizes and types. They play a significant role in enhancing safety and reducing complications in electrosurgical procedures, helping maintain patient health and improving surgical outcomes.
