Monopolar High Frequency Electrodes are commonly used in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) for preparation, coagulation and cutting of tissue. In these applications significant mechanical and thermal strain can cause increased wear and tear of such electrodes when designed the conventional way. Bissinger has now introduced a new concept to tackle the problem of increased wear and tear caused by thermal strain: A variety of exchangeable electrode tip inserts can be easily used in the same robust and durable handle. When these tips are worn out, they can cost effectively be replaced by new ones
