Abstract: An electrosurgical pencil adapted to receive an electrode controllable by an electrical signal for performing surgical operations. This pencil includes a housing, a circuit, and switch that is activatable from outside the housing for closing the circuit. The housing receives the electrode. The circuit is a flexible circuit and is positioned such that it is in direct contact with the electrode when the electrode is received in the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrosurgical instrument, more particularly to an electrosurgical instrument for laparoscopic hysterectomy. The instrument includes an expandable and contractible loop positioned to controllably emerge from the distal end of the shaft, with loop defining a first electrode. The instrument further includes at least one second electrode which in a first position are positioned within the shaft, and in a second position are expanded from the shaft. The instrument according to the invention is extremely simple to operate and the instrument therefore provides an improvement over prior art monopolar and bipolar treatment methods, both in decreasing treatment time, and simplifying control of the treatment.

Abstract: An electro-surgical (ES) pencil of the kind that includes an elongated housing having a longitudinal axis, a surgical electrode having a tip and a longitudinal axis that is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing, the electrode a suction tube having a top and a longitudinal axis that is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing and being offset from the longitudinal axis of the electrode, a suction hose connecting the suction tube with a suction unit, an electrical wire for providing electrical power to the pencil and being placed inside the hose. With this arrangement, an ES pencil is provided that is easily adjustable and customizable. In addition, since both the tip of the suction tube and the tip of the electrode are displaceable with respect to the location of the surgeon's hand, the effective length of the ES pencil can be simply and easily changed.
