ABSTRACT:
A multiple-wire electrode for use with an electrosurgical handpiece in an electrosurgical medical, dental, or veterinarian procedure, which comprises an electrically-conductive shaft having one end sized to fit on an electrosurgical handpiece and plural spaced electrically-conductive wires electrically connected to the opposite end of the shaft. The ends of the wires are electrically active, whereby when the wire ends are applied to tissue of a patient and the handpiece energized, electrical currents will flow simultaneously from the wire ends to the tissue allowing simultaneous cutting by electrical currents of parallel incisions when the handpiece is drawn across the tissue. Means can be provided connected to the shaft for varying the spacing between the wire ends. The electrode of the invention is of particular use in connection with the harvesting of hair follicles in a hair transplant procedure.
