pencil cable
The pencil cable is a critical accessory in electrosurgical procedures, serving as the secure and efficient connection between an electrosurgical pencil (handpiece) and the electrosurgical generator unit (ESU). Designed to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy with optimal conductivity and minimal energy loss, this pencil cable ensures safe and reliable performance across a wide range of surgical disciplines including general surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, ENT, urology, and plastic surgery.
Manufactured with high-durability, medical-grade materials, the pencil cable features superior insulation and flexibility, allowing for easy handling, tangle resistance, and durability even in high-demand operating room environments. The connectors are designed for universal or brand-specific compatibility, ensuring a secure fit with standard monopolar electrosurgical pencils and popular electrosurgical generators such as Valleylab, Bovie, Erbe, ConMed, and others.
The electrosurgical pencil cable comes in various lengths (typically from 2 to 4 meters), allowing adequate reach from the generator to the sterile field without excess slack that could obstruct workflow. The cable’s low-resistance core provides consistent power delivery for cutting and coagulating functions, helping surgeons maintain precision and control during procedures.
Available in both reusable and disposable formats, these cables meet international safety standards, including IEC, FDA, and CE certifications. Reusable models are autoclavable and built to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without degradation in performance, while single-use options support strict infection control protocols and cost-effective disposability.
Whether used in open surgery, laparoscopic procedures, or outpatient surgical settings, the electrosurgical pencil cable is an indispensable component of the monopolar electrosurgical system, offering performance, safety, and compatibility in one reliable package.
