Enhanced Patient Protection

Over 80% of all surgical procedures use energy devices,⁷ and these procedures require a return patient electrode or “sticky pad,” which can cause patient pad-site burns⁸ and skin adhesive injuries.⁸ MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Reusable Patient Return Electrodes help prevent pad-site burns by limiting heat build up.¹
