Return pad cable connector
First Claim
1. A return pad cable connector for use with a disposable return pad, comprising:
- a cord having a conductive wire disposed therethrough adapted to connect to an electrosurgical energy source;
a connector operatively coupled to the cord, the connector including a conductive surface that is selectively engageable with a corresponding conductive surface disposed on the return pad, the conductive surface of the connector including a conductive adhesive disposed thereon; and
a non-conductive adhesive disposed about the periphery of the conductive surface of the connector for engagement with a corresponding non-conductive adhesive disposed about the periphery of the conductive surface of the return pad.

Abstract
A return pad cable connector, in accordance with the present disclosure, for use with a disposable return pad, includes a cord having a conductive wire disposed therethrough which conductive wire interconnects the return pad cable connector to an electrosurgical energy source. The return pad further includes a connector operatively coupled to the cord, the connector having a conductive surface which is selectively engageable with a corresponding conductive surface disposed on the return pad, the conductive surface of the connector including a conductive adhesive disposed thereon and a non-conductive adhesive disposed above the periphery of the conductive surface of the connector for engagement with a corresponding non-conductive adhesive disposed above the periphery of the conductive surface of the return pad. The connector can include a magnet for magnetically coupling the connector to the conductive surface disposed on the return pad.

12. A return pad cable connector for use with a disposable return pad, comprising:
-
a cord having a conductive wire disposed therethrough adapted to connect to an electrosurgical energy source;
a connector operatively coupled to the cord having a base element including a handle and a fixed jaw having a conductive surface affixed to an inner surface thereof;
wherein the distal end of the conductive wire passes through the base element and operatively engages the conductive surface;
a return pad clamp pivotally mounted to the base element; and
the connector being positionable between an open position wherein the return pad clamp is spaced from the fixed jaw and a closed position wherein the return pad clamp is in contact with the fixed jaw.
