Covidien Insulated EDGE Coated Electrodes E1465
The Insulated EDGE Coated Electrode E1465 is a sterile, single-use needle electrode for electrosurgery. It features PTFE insulation to avoid unintended thermal contact with surrounding tissues. The EDGE elastomeric coating ensures precise cutting and coagulation with minimal sticking and easy cleaning.
The E1465 is engineered for fine dissection and coagulation in restricted or delicate surgical sites, where safety and precision are critical. Its PTFE insulation provides a protective barrier, reducing the risk of unintentional current spread to adjacent tissues. The EDGE coating concentrates energy at the tip, improving cutting efficiency and reducing char buildup compared to uncoated electrodes. After use, the durable coating allows the electrode to be wiped clean with a moist sponge — no scraping required.
