Abstract:
An electrosurgical pencil adapted to receive an electrode controllable by an electrical signal for performing surgical operations. This pencil includes a housing, a circuit, and switch that is activatable from outside the housing for closing the circuit. The housing receives the electrode. The circuit is a flexible circuit and is positioned such that it is in direct contact with the electrode when the electrode is received in the housing.

Claim (Index 1):
Electrosurgical pencil ( 100 ) adapted to receive an electrode ( 1 ) controllable by an electrical signal for performing surgical operations, comprising:\n a housing ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ), a circuit ( 2 ), switching means ( 3 ,  71 ) adapted to be activated from outside the housing ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) for closing the circuit ( 2 ), wherein the housing ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) comprises receiving means ( 41 ) for receiving the electrode ( 1 ), the housing ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) comprising a sheath ( 7 ) in a soft or resilient material, which sheath ( 7 ) encloses mainly the main part ( 4 ) of the housing ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ), wherein the sheath has actuators in form of buttons ( 71 ) that are integral with and protrude from said sheath ( 7 ), and the thickness of the sheath ( 7 ) is greater than 0.35 mm in the area of the switching means ( 3 ,  71 ).
