Megadyne unveiled today the 12-use E-Z Pen™ designed to deliver optimal electrosurgical performance to surgical teams and cost efficiencies to the bottom line.

"Because of the expense, hospitals and surgical centers currently use E-Z Clean® and other coated tips in an average of 20 percent of surgical cases," said Michael Hintze, vice president of marketing at Megadyne.  "The minimal reuse E-Z Pen is so cost effective, hospitals can use the E-Z Pen with E-Z Clean in 100 percent of surgical cases for the same or lower cost.  Additionally, because the E-Z clean coating decreases thermal necrosis, cleaning is easier and less frequent, saving the surgical team time."

Lightweight and ergonomic, the 12-time use E-Z Pen has a built-in count down mechanism displaying the number of uses left and a "lock-out" failsafe function preventing additional use once the lifespan has expired.Additional features include:

• Ten-foot drapable and kink-resistant cord for easier handling;
• Push Button or Rocker Switch configurations for cutting and coagulating;
• 3-prong connector, with built-in count down mechanism and safety feature;
• Color-coded switches and tactile feedback for easy operation;
• Fluid resistant construction
• E-Z Clean PTFE coated tips and blades, proven to last longer than silicone and other coatings

"The E-Z Pen demonstrates our continued commitment to partnering with our customers by providing superior electrosurgical innovations at a price that is at or below older technologies on the market," stated Hintze.
