The same curved, open-arc loop profile as the round-tip electrode, built to be reprocessed rather than used once.

An electrosurgical accessory built as a thin wire loop, used with a monopolar electrosurgical generator to cut through or excise a controlled area of tissue as current passes through the wire. Two distinct forms are cataloged: a round wire loop mounted on a rigid metal handle, sized by the loop's outer diameter, and a flat loop (round, oval, square, rectangular or triangular in outline) carried on a longer insulated shaft, sized by loop width and depth together. In both forms the shaft or handle is insulated everywhere except at the loop tip and the connector end, so current stays confined to the loop, and the bare connector end plugs into an electrode handle or a resectoscope working element.

Quality control

The inspection step is set by the line you order.

Economy line
sample: visual + dimensional
Clinical line
sample + boil test
Premium line
tighter sample + hardness test
Executive line

How it is built

  • Working tip is a bare wire loop; the shaft or handle it is mounted on is insulated except at the loop and the connector end
  • Loop outlines manufactured: round/circular, oval/half-round, square, rectangular, triangular, and straight-wire (needle) patterns
  • A round wire loop on a rigid metal handle is sized by outer diameter alone; a flat loop on an insulated shaft is sized by width and depth together
  • Connector end is bare metal, sized to plug into an electrode handle or a resectoscope working element
  • Reusable/autoclavable and single-use disposable patterns both exist for the same width/depth sizes in the trade

The standard sizes this kind of instrument is made in

Round wire loop on a rigid handle: outer diameter commonly 4 mm to 12 mm (for example 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm), on a shaft close to 3/32 in (2.3 mm) · Flat loop on an insulated shaft: stated as width x depth; width commonly 5 mm to 25 mm (0.5 cm to 2.5 cm), depth commonly 4 mm to 20 mm (0.4 cm to 2.0 cm)

These are the sizes the pattern is manufactured in across the trade. They are not a stock list. Tell us the size you need and we will quote against it.

This describes the loop electrode as an article. 15 other articles in this catalog share it: the sentence above is what separates this one. This describes the article. The steel, the finish and the inspection step are set by the line you order.

This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.

Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.

The five grades, side by side, and what each one is for

True of every order

Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.

Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.

Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates

Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.

TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.

One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.

If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.

Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
