Claim 0:
1. An attachment for an electrosurgical hand piece of a gas-assisted electrosurgical device comprising:
an elongated housing, said housing comprising:
an elongated body having a channel within it;
a proximal portion having a plurality of arms extending therefrom with each of said plurality of arms having an outward extending flange for securing said attachment to an electrosurgical hand piece;

an electrosurgical blade comprising:
a conductive member comprising a flat distal portion and a flat proximal end portion, said flat distal portion having a width greater than a width of said flat proximal end portion, the width of said distal portion being at least three times a thickness of the distal portion; and
a coating on at least a portion of said conductive member;

a conductive connector for connecting said conductive member to a conductor in an electrosurgical hand piece, wherein said connector comprises:
a connector body;
a channel within the connector body; and
a slot off-center in a distal face of said connector body for receiving said proximal portion of said conductive member wherein a proximal end of said conductive member is secured in said slot; and

a spacer support in said housing for supporting said flat distal portion of said conductive member, wherein said flat distal portion of said conductive member is centered in a distal end of said channel in said elongated body.
