Abstract: Example electrocautery pencils and systems are disclosed. An example electrocautery pencil includes a body, a monopolar electrocautery electrode non-movably secured to the body, the monopolar electrocautery electrode including a distal tip having a distal end. Further, the electrocautery pencil includes a heat shroud constructed of a heat-resistant material and being translatable relative to the monopolar electrocautery electrode between a covering position and an uncovering position. Further, the electrocautery pencil includes an energizing mechanism coupled to the body and configured to selectively energize the monopolar electrocautery electrode and an actuating mechanism coupled to the body, wherein depressing the actuating mechanism automatically generates a first electrical signal which translates the shroud from the covering position to the uncovering position, and wherein the electrical signal is terminated while the actuating mechanism is in the depressed configuration.

Abstract: Example electrosurgical devices and systems are disclosed. An example electrosurgical device includes a body, an electrosurgical electrode secured to the body, the electrosurgical electrode including a distal tip. The electrosurgical device also includes a shroud translatable relative to the electrosurgical electrode between a first position and a second position, a first magnetic component which is operably connected to the body, and a second magnetic component which is operably connected to the shroud, wherein the first and second magnetic components magnetically interact to releasably maintain the shroud in the first position.
