ABSTRACT:
A hand held holder, incorporating a light transmitting electrode tip that's separable from the handle, for use in high frequency electrosurgery, with built-in, finger actuated switches for operating a high frequency current generator. The device is particularly characterized in that in conjunction with a light transmitting electrode, it provides localized illumination at the region of surgery. To provide this illumination, an elongate photoconductive device is provided which extends generally longitudinally within the electrode, and communicates in the holder with a light transmitting portion, in the form of either a section of a strand like photoconductor, or an electrically operated lamp.
