    The composition of the electric knife

    The monopolar electrosurgical knife is generally composed of the host, Electrosurgical Pencil, foot control switch and negative plate;

    The bipolar electrosurgical unit is generally composed of a main unit, bipolar forceps and a foot switch, and does not require a negative plate.

    Some Electrosurgical Pencils have manual control switches. For example, the disposable monopolar surgical electrodes produced by Wuhan Myron Medical have manual control switches. Yellow represents cutting, and blue represents coagulation. Intraoperative control is more convenient and fast.

    5. After use, turn off the power of the host first, and then pull out the power plug.

    Operation steps of bipolar electrocautery:

    1. Turn on the power supply, connect the foot pedal, and place it under the operator's feet to facilitate the foot control switch;
    2. The electrosurgical main unit is powered on and self-checked, and the output power is set according to the main unit's manual and surgical needs;
    3. Connect the plug of bipolar coagulation forceps;
