Designed to Enhance Patient Protection
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
Ease of Use
Compatible with most isolated electrosurgical generators,2 MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Reusable Patient Return Electrodes can be used with patient warming devices.3 No skin prep, shaving or skin contact required. MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal and Universal Plus can be used for all patient sizes.4 May be used in open, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures.
Reduced Cost and Waste
Reusable for 24 months,5 MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Reusable Patient Return Electrodes are environmentally friendly.5 They reduce costs and save time vs. sticky pads.6 They also reduce SKUs, ordering hassles, waste and waste-disposal costs.5
Flexible for Easier Handling in the OR
MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal Plus Reusable Patient Return Electrode is a lightweight pad for easier handling in the OR.
