Intended Use

The ACCU-Surg Bipolar Laparoscopic Electrodes are intended to be used with the ACCU-Surg Suction / Irrigation Cannula. They are surgical tools for cutting and coagulation used for GYN and General Surgery for such procedures as coagulation of endometrium, laparoscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic leiomyoma coagulation (myolysis), bleeding control of pelvic vessels and laparoscopic (**) errors )) bacanth orgeons choice will determine the tip style used.

Device Story

ACCU-Surg Bipolar Laparoscopic Electrodes function as surgical instruments for cutting and coagulation; used in conjunction with ACCU-Surg Suction/Irrigation Cannula. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings (OR) during GYN and general laparoscopic procedures. Device delivers bipolar electrosurgical energy to tissue; surgeon selects specific tip style based on procedure requirements. Output is physical tissue effect (cutting/coagulation) controlled by surgeon via electrosurgical generator interface. Benefits include precise tissue management and hemostasis during minimally invasive surgery.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Bipolar electrosurgical electrodes; designed for use with suction/irrigation cannula. Energy source: external electrosurgical generator. Form factor: laparoscopic instrument with interchangeable tips.

Indications for Use

Indicated for GYN and general surgery procedures requiring cutting and coagulation, including endometrial coagulation, laparoscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic leiomyoma coagulation (myolysis), and bleeding control of pelvic vessels.

Regulatory Classification
