Claim 14:
15. An ultrapolar electrosurgery blade assembly comprising:
a top thin elongated conductive member and a bottom thin elongated conductive member in vertical alignment with one another and spaced apart from one another along their lengths to form a space between the top and bottom thin elongated conductive members wherein each of the top and bottom thin elongated conductive members includes opposing planar sides, a sharp cutting end and an opposite non-cutting end;
a non-conductive housing that covers both opposing planar sides of the top and bottom thin elongated conductive members and that fills the space between the top and bottom thin elongated conductive members to create opposing non-conductive sides of an ultrapolar electrosurgery blade wherein at least a portion of the sharp cutting ends of the top and bottom thin elongated conductive members and their opposite non-cutting ends remain exposed, and wherein at least a portion of a top of the top thin elongated conductive member is exposed between portions of non-conductive housing located on a top of the ultrapolar electrosurgery blade and at least a portion of a bottom of the bottom thin elongated conductive member is exposed between portions of non-conductive housing located on a bottom of the ultrapolar electrosurgery blade;
a non-conductive tube member having a hollow tubular shaped opening contained therein and a slot wherein the slot is positioned over a top of the ultrapolar electrosurgery blade such that at least a portion of the top of the ultrapolar electrosurgery blade is contained within the slot; and
a conductive hollow tubular member contained within at least a portion of the non-conductive tube member.
