Medline PTFE Cautery Pencils are designed for electrosurgical procedures where consistent performance and ease of maintenance are critical. The 2.5-inch electrode tip features a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, which allows for easy cleaning with a wet gauze or sponge, eliminating the need for abrasive pads. The rounded edges of the tip help prevent radiofrequency (RF) current from concentrating energy in one area, promoting safer and more uniform cauterization. Pencils with tips under 3 inches include ribbed insulation to facilitate tip changes, even in wet surgical conditions. Individually packaged in a protective safety holster, these sterile, disposable instruments help reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
