ABSTRACT:
The manually extendable electrocautery surgical apparatus slidably receives an electrode housing apparatus within an elongated aperture within a main housing. The electrode housing is slidably received upon a conductive post which provides an electrical connection to the electrode housing from a remote electrical supply source. An insulating outer layer surrounds the electrode housing apparatus, and the insulating outer layer is slidably received within the cylindrical cavity in the main housing. The electrode is inserted into the distal end of the electrode housing, and the electrode housing is adjustably positioned in relation to the main housing, to obtain the desired length during surgery. The main housing includes at least one actuation member for selectively controlling the flow of current to the electrode housing. The electrical current may further be adjusted to perform cutting or coagulating routines.
