DRAPER, UT--(Marketwire - June 19, 2009) - Megadyne today announced a new range of E-Z
Clean® Modified Electrodes featuring enhanced polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) insulation, designed to further minimize potential thermal injuries
during electrosurgery. The enhanced PTFE insulation resists temperatures
up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit and reduces the splitting, cracking and
peeling often seen on electrodes without PTFE insulation.
Compatible with all standard hand pieces, the new Modified Electrodes are
designed specifically for monopolar electrosurgery. Each Modified
Electrode features Megadyne's trademarked and proprietary Green E-Z Clean
PTFE coating to save surgeons time. Compared to stainless steel tips that
require stopping during procedures to repeatedly scrape off eschar
build-up, Megadyne's non-stick E-Z Clean PTFE green tips resist eschar
build-up and result in fewer interruptions during procedures.
"Our core area of focus remains the research and innovation of safe
surgical technologies that help to protect patients during the 35 million
surgical procedures performed in the United States each year while
simultaneously providing surgeons with the highest quality electrosurgery
products in the market," said Michael Hintze, Vice President of Marketing
at Megadyne. "These new PTFE insulated electrodes continue our tradition of
offering safe, innovative, and cost-effective products to today's ORs."
The new Modified Electrodes are available in four lengths and are also
available on Megadyne's Rocker Switch and Button Switch Electrosurgical
hand pieces:
-- E-Z Clean 2.5" electrode (0012M)
-- E-Z Clean 2.75" electrode (0012AM)
-- E-Z Clean 4" electrode (0014AM)
-- E-Z Clean 6.5" electrode (0014M)
-- Rocker Switch Pencil with E-Z Clean electrosurgical tip (0036 and
0036H))
-- Button Switch Pencil with E-Z Clean electrosurgical tip (0037 and
0037H)
