ABSTRACT:
An electrode for use in an electrosurgical nasal procedure for excising tissue. The procedure is known as DCR. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode is characterized by a bare active tip portion terminating a transversely-extending portion from an electrode shaft. The tissue excising is effected with the bare tip and the adjacent portions of the transversely-extending portion and electrode shaft are made insulating to prevent accidental burns to the patient and to allow the physician to use these insulated parts to help position and guide the active tip portion during the surgical procedure.
