Area of Science:

Surgical Technology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Electrocautery is a standard surgical tool.
Current microdissection electrocautery needles are prohibitively expensive for some applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a low-cost alternative to commercial microdissection electrocautery needles.
To modify a standard monopolar electrocautery tip for enhanced microdissection capabilities.

Main Methods:

Modification of a standard monopolar electrocautery tip.
Functional testing and comparison against commercially available microdissection systems.

Main Results:

The modified monopolar electrocautery tip demonstrated comparable functionality to commercial systems.
The modification offers a significant cost reduction compared to existing microdissection needles.

Conclusions:

The developed modified monopolar electrocautery tip provides a viable, cost-effective solution for surgical microdissection.
This innovation can improve accessibility to advanced electrocautery tools in surgical settings.
