Abstract
Electrosurgery blades including electrosurgery blade assemblies having argon beam capability. The electrosurgery blade includes a non-conductive planar member having opposite planar sides and a sharp cutting tip and a conductive layer located on one or both of the opposing planar sides of the non-conductive layer. In embodiments of the electrosurgery blade assemblies having argon beam capability, the electrosurgery blade assembly includes a non-conductive tube member having a hollow tubular shaped opening and a slot where at least a portion of the conductive layer of the electrosurgery blade is positioned within the slot of the non-conductive tube member.
Claims20
An electrosurgery blade comprising:
- a non-conductive planar member having opposite planar sides with opposing elongated edges and a cutting tip;
- and
- a conductive layer located on at least one of the opposing planar sides wherein the conductive layer lies adjacent to at least one of the opposing edges of the non-conductive planar member without covering at least a portion of the at least one opposing planar side near the cutting tip.
An electrosurgery blade assembly comprising:
- a non-conductive planar member having opposite planar sides with opposing elongated edges and a cutting tip;
- a conductive layer located on at least one side of the opposing planar sides wherein the conductive layer lies adjacent to at least one of the opposing edges of the non-conductive planar member;
- and
- a non-conductive tube member having a hollow tubular shaped opening contained therein and a slot contained therein wherein the slot is positioned over at least a portion of the conductive layer.
