Covidien Insulated EDGE Coated Electrodes E1465B-4
The Insulated EDGE Coated Electrode E1465B‑4 is a sterile, single-use needle electrode used in electrosurgery. It has a 4-inch (10.16 cm) PTFE-insulated shaft. The EDGE elastomeric coating with Safety Sleeve focuses current at the needle tip, allowing precise cutting with minimal sticking.
The E1465B‑4 electrode is engineered for deep-access surgical procedures where both reach and safety are critical, combining an extended 10.16 cm length with PTFE insulation and a protective Safety Sleeve . Its EDGE coating improves cutting efficiency, reduces tissue adherence, and minimizes char formation even at lower power settings. The PTFE insulation ensures that no stray current affects surrounding tissues, reducing risk of unintended thermal damage. After use, the needle can be wiped clean with a moist sponge for quick turnaround without scraping.
