Covidien Insulated EDGE Coated Electrodes E1455B-4
The Insulated EDGE Coated Electrode E1455B‑4 is a sterile, single‑use 4‑inch (10.16 cm) blade electrode designed for electrosurgery. It features PTFE insulation and a Safety Sleeve to guard against unintended contact with surrounding tissues. The EDGE elastomeric coating helps concentrate current at the blade’s edge, enabling efficient cutting and coagulation.
The E1455B‑4 electrode is specially built for surgical environments where both precision and safety are critical, thanks to its PTFE insulation and integrated Safety Sleeve . Its EDGE coating ensures high-performance cutting with reduced tissue sticking and minimal char formation, even at lower power settings. The 10.16 cm length allows reaching deeper or less accessible surgical sites while maintaining controlled energy delivery. After use, the coating remains intact and can be wiped clean with a moist sponge, reducing procedure interruptions.
