Abstract

Handpiece (1 ) for an electronic scalpel comprising: a pair of electrodes (2, 3) electrically connected to the electronic scalpel's radiofrequency generator; a pair of electric conductor wires (5, 6), each of which is connected at one extremity to one of the electrodes (2, 3) while the other extremity is electrically connected to the radiofrequency generator; a tubular shaft (4) developing mainly in the longitudinal direction and containing the pair of conductor wires (5, 6); a holder (7) connected to the tubular shaft (4). The handpiece (1 ) has actuating means (8) for sliding and extending the electrodes (2, 3) through a hole (9) in the lateral surface (10) of the front end (11 ) of the tubular shaft (4). The actuating means (8) are suitable for adjusting the position of the pair of electrodes (2, 3) with respect to the longitudinal axis (X) of the tubular shaft (4).
