Neutral electrodes for children
Suitability, restrictions
2
The neutral electrode 20193-016 (small 187 cm ) is suitable for
children.
Never use these neutral electrodes for operations with high power
(e.g. a transurethral resection of prostate (TUR)). Always choose
the lowest possible power setting on the electrosurgical unit.
Special considerations
Use these small return electrodes only for patients on whom larger
return electrodes cannot be applied. Only minor electrosurgical
operations should be performed. Check the application site regu-
larly during the operation.
Selecting a suitable application site
If the thighs or upper arms are too thin for application, the neutral
electrodes for children can also be applied on the body.
Monitoring of the return electrode by the
HF surgical unit
You will also find safety instructions regarding application of the
return electrode in the instruction manual of your HF surgical unit.
Please read them.
Electrosurgical units are equipped with various safety systems to
monitor the neutral electrode (e.g. correct application, contact be-
tween skin and neutral electrode). Please get familiar with the spe-
cial features of your electrosurgical unit's safety systems.
