UF-C51 UltraFlex bendalble electrode
     

FULGURATION: NOTE: the UF-C52 is suitable for soft coagulation ( with the ME600 fulguration adaptor only ) of
enucleated cysts or creating a 1-1.5 mm coagulum over large areas for healing by second intent.

GINGIVAL TROUGHING: These electrodes are made of fine .010” surgical tungsten wire for minimal tissue alteration. They are also excellent for fine shaving and tissue tag removal. Those not specific to anterior access are suitable for both anterior and posterior, also, interproximal where access permits. NOTE: the UF-SN61 and R-SN62 stainless steel fulguration electrodes are also suitable for narrow, shallow troughing ( UF-SN61 is .5mm X 3mm and R-SN62 is 2mm X 6mm ). Deeper cuts with these electrodes may create some circatrix, however. The UF-SN61 fits easily interproximally. Due to the larger surface area, the UF-SN61 and R-SN61 will enhance concurrent hemostasis, when required, in comparison to the loops.

Care & Cleaning of Electrodes After Use
1. Do not scrub electrodes with a brush or harsh abrasive.
2. To remove blood or tissue prior to autoclaving, place the electrodes in hydrogen peroxide or in an ultrasonic cleaner for 1 minute. If carbon deposits cannot be wiped off, use a fine sandpaper disc to expose the metal.
3. Place the electrodes in an autoclave bag before placing them in an autoclave bag. Steam autoclave at 250ºF (121ºC) for 20 minutes at 15 psi.
4. An aluminum paste may be used to remove oxide.
