Electrosurgical (ESU) accessories are essential to electrosurgical procedures, which use high-frequency electrical currents to cut, coagulate, or vaporize tissue during surgery.
Electrosurgical (ESU) accessories are an essential part of modern surgical practice, and they allow surgeons to perform procedures with precision, speed, and safety.

Types of electrosurgical accessories you need to know about

Below are some of the accessories
  • Electrodes
Electrodes are one of the most commonly used ESU accessories, and they come in various shapes and sizes to suit different surgical applications. For example, a needle electrode is ideal for precise cutting, while a ball electrode is useful for coagulating tissue.
Other electrode types include loop, blade, and suction electrodes.
  • ESU forceps
ESU forceps are another important accessory for grasping and manipulating tissue during surgery. Their unique design allows them to conduct electrical current to the tissue, making them useful for cutting, coagulating, and sealing blood vessels.
There are various types of ESU forceps, including bipolar, monopolar, and combination.
  • ESU scissors
ESU scissors are also widely used in electrosurgery and are designed to cut tissue using high-frequency electrical currents. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as straight, curved, blunt, and pointed.
ESU scissors are particularly useful in procedures requiring precise cutting, such as neurosurgery or plastic surgery.
  • Cautery pens
Cautery pens are another type of ESU accessory, and they are used to control bleeding during surgery. They use electrical current to create a localized burn that seals blood vessels and stops bleeding.
Cautery pens are available in various sizes and shapes, such as straight, angled, and curved, to suit different surgical applications.
  • Bipolar forceps
Bipolar forceps are used in bipolar electrosurgery to coagulate small vessels and tissue. Two tips clamp around the tissue, delivering the electrical energy directly to the targeted area.
  • Grounding pads
Grounding pads protect the patient from electrical energy by providing a path for the current to flow away from the patient. They are typically placed under the patient and come in different sizes and shapes to match different surgical procedures.
  • ESU carts and stands
These are used to organize and store the electrosurgical unit and accessories, making them easily accessible during the surgical procedure.
  • Cables
Cables connect the electrosurgical generator to the electrode, transmitting the electrical energy. ESU cables are available in different lengths and thicknesses and with different connectors to match the specific electrosurgical generator and electrode.
  • Dispersive pads
Dispersive pads complete the electrosurgical circuit and disperse the electrical current to the generator. They are typically placed on the patient's skin away from the surgical site and come in various sizes and shapes to suit different procedures.
  • Smoke evacuators
Electrosurgery produces smoke and odor as a byproduct of the process. Smoke evacuators are used to remove the smoke and prevent its inhalation, improving visibility and reducing the risk of infection.
  • Footswitches
Footswitches are used to control the delivery of energy to the electrode. They allow the surgeon to operate the electrosurgical generator without using their hands, freeing their hands for other tasks.
