The Monopolar Hook is a single-use sterile electrosurgical electrode for use with the HandXTM device. The Monopolar Hook is connected to the HandX device and transmits the HandX device motors’ rotation in order to articulate the movement of the end effector of the Monopolar Hook. It is designed to address surgeons’ needs relating to the application of monopolar diathermy for various surgical purposes.The Monopolar Hook is connected to a standard electrosurgical unit via a standard generator cable.
A sterile, invasive, distal component of an electrosurgical assembly intended to deliver electrosurgical current in a monopolar configuration (i.e., used with a patient contact return electrode) to tissues for cutting/coagulation/ablation during endoscopic (e.g., laparoscopic, arthroscopic) surgery. It is available in a variety of forms (e.g., exchangeable electrode for electrosurgical forceps, rigid electrode, flexible endoscopic probe) which may include a lumen for suction/irrigation. It does not include a handpiece or housing and has no electrical or mechanical controls (e.g., does not include ring-handles); it is not intended for gas-enhanced electrosurgery. This is a single-use device.
