LLETZ wire loop electrodes, made from tungsten, offer greater control and increased durability compared to stainless steel. Tungsten wire resists breakage at higher power levels, while providing better control against flexing and bending during use. 

Precision crafted of the highest grade stainless steel and titanium, these quality surgical instruments are designed to provide superior control, safety, and surgical efficacy at minimum output power settings.

During MIS procedures, an “inadvertent capacitor” may be created by the surgical instruments. The conductive active electrode is surrounded by nonconductive insulation. This, in turn, is surrounded by a conductive metal cannula.
