- Description
- Electro Lube® is an anti-stick solution designed to keep eschar (necrotic or dead tissue) from sticking to the electrosurgical tips of surgical instruments known as diathermy tips or electrodes, during surgical use, therefore reducing the likelihood of eschar build-up which could impede healing process and increase the risk of further infection in the wound. The lubrication is applied to the tips of the diathermy tips or electrodes with a provided sterile foam pad to clean them of debris and any infected tissue. The product is packaged in a 4ml opaque bottle with sterile foam pad, for single-patient use.
