Patent attributes
A device for selectively providing electrical energy from an electrosurgical generator for alternatively searing and coagulating tissue of a patient during surgery is provided. The electrocautery device has a blade electrically connected to an electrical cable. The electrocautery device comprises a hollow main body with a vacuum mechanism formed in the hollow main body. At least one intake port is formed in the hollow main body with a vacuum tubing extending into the hollow main body fluidly connecting the intake port. A first button having a first airway opening and a second airway opening selectively activates energy to sear tissue and activates the vacuum mechanism. A second button having a third airway opening selectively activates the electrical energy to coagulate tissue and activates the vacuum mechanism wherein upon depression of the first button, the first airway opening aligns with the third airway opening and wherein upon depression of the second button, the second airway opening aligns with the third airway opening.
