A Monopolar Working Element is a key component of a monopolar TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) resectoscope, responsible for holding and activating the electrode that resects prostate tissue.
Features:
Connects to monopolar electrosurgical unit (ESU)
Supports loop electrodes for cutting/coagulating
Enables controlled movement of the electrode
Works with non-conductive irrigation fluids (like glycine)
Made from durable, insulated material for patient safety
Uses:
Used in TURP surgeries for resecting enlarged prostate tissue
Allows cutting and coagulation through monopolar energy delivery
