Abstract

A combination suction coagulator and dedicated bending tool for customizing working surfaces of suction coagulator instruments. A working extension of the coagulator is provided with an improved insulating coating and is adapted for customized bending with a dedicated tool that has at one end a recess with a centrally located mandrel pin for insertion into the hollow interior of the coagulator extension. A curved channel is provided in cooperative association with the recess and mandrel pin so as to limit the radius of any bend that may be made by the user. That, in combination with the form-fitting mandrel pin provide a ready way of bending the distal extremity of the coagulator extension while maintaining its internal geometrical integrity. The tool also includes a custom stylet for use in cleaning accumulated debris from the interior of the working extension.
