ABSTRACT:
An electrosurgical probe comprises an elongate probe body having a surgical hook at a distal end thereof. A paddle element is reciprocatably mounted within the distal tip of the elongate body so that it can be shifted between an extended position where it covers the hook tip and a retracted position where it leaves the hook tip exposed. The paddle thus can cooperate with the hook in tissue dissection, clean the hook, as well as provide an alternate electrosurgical probe tip for use in electrosurgical procedures.
