Ball Electrode, Electrode Set, Knife Electrode

## Product Overview

Ball Electrode, Electrode Set, Knife Electrode is a ball electrode, electrode set, knife electrode listed in the HF Instruments range of the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, page 1406. The source catalog is bilingual and prints the designation as Ball Electrode, Electrode Set, Knife Electrode in English and Kugelelektrode, Elektroden-Set, Messerelektrode 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 2 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 GK121R-GK122R. It is classified in the catalog under Surgical Instruments > HF Instruments > Ball Electrode, Electrode Set, Knife Electrode.

## Design Characteristics

The following characteristics are printed for every configuration in this listing: length 50 mm, straight, insulated, monopolar, and length (imperial) 2″. Overall length is printed as 50 mm (2″ imperial). 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). Characteristics that differ across the family are set out under Configuration Options below.

## Configuration Options

The family is catalogued in 2 configurations. Configurations are distinguished by diameter. Printed diameter options are 4 mm and 6 mm. Any combination not listed below is not printed in the source catalog and is therefore not offered as a catalogued configuration.

– **GK121R** — straight; monopolar; insulated; length 50 mm; diameter 4 mm
– **GK122R** — straight; monopolar; insulated; length 50 mm; diameter 6 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.
