ABSTRACT:
An accessory device for dissipating electrical energy from a surgical device is provided. The electrical energy is induced on the surgical device when a charge-inducing instrument, e.g. an unipolar electrocautery device, is energized in proximity thereto. The induced energy is dissipated by conveying the energy along an electrically conductive coating adhered to a housing of the device to an energy dissipation region.
