8.7.4 For Biopsy
The use of electrosurgery for cervical biopsy has advantages in that it seals the capillaries and lymphatics as
it cuts . Whenever possible, the specimen should include two to three millimeters of attached normal tissue .
Small (up to one half inch) masses should be removed in one piece . Using a cutting current at a relatively
high setting and a Needle Electrode, incise all around the mass in an elliptical pattern, including two to three
millimeters of attached normal tissue .
Small masses may also be removed by using a suitable Loop Electrode – large enough so that it can excise
the mass as well as two to three millimeters of attached normal tissue at the same time .
Specimens from larger masses should be taken in the form of wedges . Using a Needle Electrode and cutting
current, start at the apex of the wedge at the center of the suspicious mass . The base of the wedge should
include two to three millimeters of attached normal tissue .
Section 9 LEEP PRECISION Patient Return Electrode
A Patient Return Electrode must be used to operate the LEEP PRECISION Generator . The Patient Return
Electrode must be of the Split or Dual type for the safety features to prevent R/F burns due to poor adhesion .
For optimum patient safety with the use of the LEEP PRECISION Generator, it is strongly recommended to
use only authorized and genuine CooperSurgical LEEP PRECISION Split/Dual Patient Return Electrodes .
No other Patient Return Electrode has been tested or verified to the level of safety and performance of an
authorized and genuine CooperSurgical LEEP PRECISION Split/Dual Patient Return Electrode .
Do not use a single/not split Patient Return Electrode as it is not continuously monitored for
integrity. Patient injury may result.
Section 10 Maintenance
The LEEP PRECISION Generator must be cleaned and disinfected after each use . To sanitize the LEEP
PRECISION Generator, wipe down with a disinfectant . While the finish on the LEEP PRECISION Generator will
resist scuffing and the chemical attack of most acids and alkalies, any liquids spilled on the LEEP PRECISION
Generator should be wiped up immediately .
