Knife Electrode, Needle Electrode, Loop Electrode

## Product Overview

Knife Electrode, Needle Electrode, Loop Electrode is a knife electrode, needle electrode, loop electrode listed in the HF Instruments range of the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, page 1405. The source catalog is bilingual and prints the designation as Knife Electrode, Needle Electrode, Loop Electrode in English and Messerelektrode, Nadelelektrode, Schlingenelektrode in German, so either term can be used when matching this item against an existing inventory or tender list. This entry represents the complete catalogued family of 4 configurations rather than a single item, so the specifications below describe the full printed range. Each configuration carries its own catalog number and is quoted separately. The family is printed in the catalog under the range GK115R-GK118R. It is classified in the catalog under Surgical Instruments > HF Instruments > Knife Electrode, Needle Electrode, Loop Electrode.

## Design Characteristics

The following characteristics are printed for every configuration in this listing: diameter 4 mm, straight, insulated, and monopolar. The printed working-end diameter is 4 mm. The working portion is printed as straight, which is the geometry the catalog specifies for this reference. The instrument is printed as insulated, which governs how it may be paired with an electrosurgical generator. The catalog prints the energy mode as monopolar, which determines the generator connection and cable configuration required. The catalog prints these descriptors bilingually: straight (gerade), insulated (isoliert), and short shaft (kurzer Schaft).

## Configuration Options

The family is catalogued in 4 configurations. The source catalog does not print an attribute that distinguishes every configuration in this family, so each is identified by its printed catalog number. The printed specification for each is reproduced below exactly as it appears in the source, with no value inferred.

– **GK115R** — straight; monopolar; insulated; diameter 4 mm
– **GK116R** — straight; monopolar; insulated; length 55 mm; diameter 4 mm
– **GK117R** — straight; monopolar; insulated; length 55 mm; diameter 4 mm
– **GK118R** — straight; monopolar; insulated; length 60 mm; diameter 4 mm

Each configuration above is a separately catalogued item and can be quoted individually or as a set. Where two configurations carry identical printed specifications, the source catalog distinguishes them by catalog number only.

## Specification Coverage

The source catalog prints working-end diameter and curvature for this listing. It does not print overall length, edge, size code, material, working angle, shaft characteristic, and tip form; these values are omitted here rather than estimated, and can be confirmed on inquiry. This listing reproduces only what the manufacturer’s catalog states. No material, certification, performance or clinical claim is added.
