Diathermy Plates
Diathermy plates are vital components in electrosurgery, designed to safely return the electric current from the patient back to the electrosurgical unit during monopolar procedures. These grounding pads play a critical role in patient safety by preventing unintended burns and ensuring that the electrical circuit remains closed and controlled throughout the procedure.Crafted from biocompatible conductive materials, diathermy plates are available in disposable or reusable options, as well as pediatric and adult sizes, to suit different surgical environments. Adhesive-backed versions ensure secure skin contact, while non-adhesive types are used with conductive gel for optimal performance. Some models include split-plate technology, which actively monitors contact quality to further reduce risk during high-frequency surgery.Compatible with standard electrosurgical generators, these plates are manufactured under strict quality control standards and meet global safety and sterilization regulations. Whether used in general surgery, gynecology, urology, or outpatient procedures, diathermy plates are indispensable for reliable and safe energy return in monopolar cautery.
