Disposable Earth Plate 6mm Connector for ESU

Disposable Earth Plate 6mm Connector for ESU

A disposable earth plate is a patient return electrode that is used only once to complete the electrical circuit of a monopolar electrosurgical unit and safely disperse current away from the patient. It is designed for hospitals, surgical clinics, dental, and dermatology surgeons and medical distributors in Pakistan using standard ESU generators with 6 mm (6.3 mm) pin electrodes. 1 plate, 1 patient, then throw away. The disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU provides the connection required for compatible ESU generators. 

Key Features and Benefits

• 6mm/6.3mm universal pin connector: The connector is universal, which fits into the most common mono jack found on most of the diathermy machines used in Pakistani operating theatres, and the disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU does not require an adaptor or retrofit of the existing generator. 
• Low impedance conductive layer with wide surface area: The current spreads rather than being concentrated at one point. This is the reason why using a higher power setting doesn’t cause pad site burns during lengthy procedures with the disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU.
• Conductive hydrogel adhesive: An adhesive that sticks to warm, slightly moist skin. Adhesion is not a minor point in an OT at 30°C in June. The number one most frequent cause of an alarm mid procedure is poor contact. 
• Adult and paediatric sizes: If the paediatric patient is on an adult size plate, then he or she will have uneven contact. The size of a plate should match the body mass; it is a SAFETY measure, not a preference. The disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU is available for compatible return electrode applications. 
• Latex free and individually pouched: Reduces risk of allergy and prevents gel from drying out in storage. 
• 2 to 3 metre integrated cable: This should have enough slack to keep the lead away from the sterile field and off the floor. The disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU provides a suitable connection for compatible ESU equipment.
• Radiolucent construction: Does not obscure the view during intraoperative C-arm imaging. The disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU supports use with compatible electrosurgical equipment during procedures requiring imaging. 
• Manufactured to IEC 60601-2-2 requirements:  The typical shelf life from manufacture is 2 to 3 years for the disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU.

Who Should Buy This Product

For tertiary hospitals and teaching hospitals with several theatre lists running every day, there is no scope to have an occasional import; there’s a need for a reliable stock line. These plates are regularly used in day care surgical centres, dental surgeons, ENT clinics, gynaecology clinics, and dermatology practices in minor excisions with a cautery. The disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU suits facilities using compatible ESU generators.

Special Pakistan issue; in older buildings, the quality of earthing is not always reliable due to unreliable mains supply and frequent switching on to generators. When facility grounding is imperfect, the final line of defence is an appropriate return electrode. Lahore, Karachi, Multan, Peshawar, and Quetta distributors also purchase in bulk for district and rural health centres, as these types of disposables are consumables rather than one time investments. The disposable earth plate 6mm connector for ESU is relevant for facilities requiring compatible disposable return electrodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 6mm/6.3mm connector used for?

It is the normal mono pin that connects the patient return electrode to an electrosurgical generator, thus creating the monopolar circuit.

Is the earth plate reusable?

No, single use plates are disposable. The adhesive gel is non conductive after the first procedure, increasing the burn risk.

How do you properly place a disposable earth pad?

Topically apply to clean, dry, and hairless skin, over well vascularised muscle, as close as possible to the surgical site. Do not use bony prominences, scar tissue, or metal implants.

Why does the generator show a contact quality alarm?

Typically, it is a partially lifted off plate, a dried or expired plate, hairy or wet skin, or a loose cable connection at the generator.

How do I install an earth plate?

Remove the liner, flatten the plate centrally towards the edge with no wrinkles, and attach the 6 mm pin to the generator before turning on.

What is an electrical earth plate?

The dispersive electrode is used in surgery to bring the electrosurgical current back to the unit safely over a broad area.
