Main Description
This listing is Valleylab's stainless steel electrode range, the uncoated workhorse tips for monopolar pencils. Blade electrodes in 2.44 inch length fit hex-locking and non hex-locking pencils, and a needle electrode covers fine work. The 5 mm ball electrode serves broad coagulation and fulguration where a blade would cut instead. Extension blade and extension needle electrodes at 6.5 inches reach deep operative fields. All configurations are single use and supplied in cases of 50 or 150 as labeled, the high counts volume electrosurgery services consume.
Features and Benefits
- Three tip geometries – Blade for cutting, needle for precision, ball for coagulation: the full monopolar tip kit.
- Extension reach – Six and a half inch versions bring monopolar energy to deep fields without a specialty pencil.
- Pencil compatibility – Hex-locking and standard shank versions match the Valleylab pencil fleet.
- Volume packaging – Cases up to 150 suit high-throughput services and keep unit cost down.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is a ball electrode used instead of a blade?
The ball spreads energy over a round contact for coagulation and fulguration of broader surfaces, while the blade concentrates energy at an edge for cutting. Surgeons swap tips as the task changes within a case.
Are these electrodes sterile?
The configurations are supplied for single use in sterile procedure settings as labeled. Check the variant label for its exact sterile presentation and count.
Is this device sterile and single use?
Yes. It is supplied sterile for single use unless its label states otherwise, and it must not be reprocessed or reused. Check the package integrity and expiry before every case.
How should this device be stored?
Store it in its original packaging under normal room conditions away from heat sources and moisture. Rotate stock by expiry date and quarantine any unit with damaged packaging.
What if a configuration I need is not listed?
