ABSTRACT:
A method for producing an exceptionally durable electrical insulation coating for electro-surgical instrumentation with excellent insulative properties in the 500 KHZ to 1 MHZ frequency range which can drastically reduce, if not totally eliminate, many problems of current electrical insulation materials in use. A process of ceramic plasma deposition is used. A thin ceramic coating can be readily applied to new or existing mono/bipolar surgical instrumentation.
