Disposable Electrosurgical Pads (ESU Pad)

Electrosurgical grounding pad(also called ESU plates) is made from electrolyte hydro-gel and aluminum-foil and PE foam, etc. Commonly known as patient plate, grounding pad, or return electrode. It is a negative plate of the high-frequency electrotome. It applies to electric welding, etc. of the high-frequency electrotome.Conductive surface made of Aluminum sheet, low in resistance, negative of cytotoxicity skin, sensitization and acute coetaneous Irritation.

Disposable ESU grounding pads are made of a plastic base material that is covered with a metal film that serves as the actual electrode surface. Covering the metal surface is an adhesive gel layer that can be easily attached to the patient’s skin. Also referred to as single-use pads or sticky pads, the disposable grounding pad must be large enough to keep the current density low to prevent heat build-up that might result in a burn under the pad.

Hisern Medical supplies various sizes of disposable ESU grounding pads to meet the different clinical use and are more cost-effective than reusable pads. Single use also facilitates sterility during the procedure and a quick and efficient cleanup afterward. Disposables contain high-quality adhesives that help conform the fit to the patient and enable consistent heat distribution.
