Renuvion/Apyx Split Grounding Pads
INDICATIONS FOR USE/INTENDED USE:The Disposable Split Adult Return Electrode Pad is a disposable, single-use, neutral electrode, which provides a return path for high frequency electrical current to the ESU device. DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE:Disposable Split Return Electrodes (also known as grounding pads and dispersive electrodes) are single use, non-sterile, disposable devices. They are used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator and accessories, such as electrosurgical handpieces, pencils, and electrodes. Grounding pads are used in monopolar surgery to disperse electrosurgical current delivered by a monopolar electrode to low density (reducing the risk of patient burns) and return the electrosurgical current back to the generator. RF energy, which is generated from the generator travels through the interconnecting cable to an electrosurgical accessory (e.g.: handpiece), where the energy is delivered to an electrode to coagulate tissue.
