UMD: Adapters designed to couple electrosurgical units to accessories of different models and/or manufacturers; they may be used also to connect cables to discontinued and/or obsolete models, to perform special procedures (e.g., bipolar, endoscopic, minimally invasive, or laparoscopic surgery), or to increase safety of connection. These adapters may consist of dedicated electrical connectors, cables, plugs, jacks, and/or other dedicated devices; they are usually intended for a particular use. Electrosurgical unit adapters are used to facilitate particular electrosurgical procedures (e.g., bipolar, endoscopic, laparoscopic) and/or to lessen the possibility of electric shock due to an improper connection.
