The laparoscopic spatula electrode is a specialized surgical instrument used in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. It combines the functions of a spatula for tissue manipulation and an electrode for tissue coagulation, making it a versatile tool for various surgical tasks.
Here's a closer look at its features and benefits:
Function:
Spatula: The flat, blunt tip of the spatula allows for atraumatic (minimally damaging) dissection and retraction of tissues. It's ideal for separating delicate structures and providing a clear operating field.
Electrode: The spatula tip incorporates an electrode that delivers controlled electrical energy to coagulate blood vessels and minimize bleeding during tissue dissection. This helps maintain a clear surgical field and reduces the risk of complications.
