The ConMed 160636 ABC® 5 mm Handswitching Laparoscopic Probe is a precision‑engineered electrosurgical accessory designed to deliver reliable argon beam coagulation (ABC®) performance in minimally invasive surgical procedures. With a 5 mm diameter and 36 cm working length, this handswitch probe offers surgeons the reach and access needed for deep laparoscopic tissue manipulation. Its intuitive handswitch control allows direct activation of coagulation energy from the instrument itself, reducing the need for foot pedals and improving procedural ergonomics. 

Built for advanced laparoscopic workflows, the ABC® technology combines argon gas with precise RF energy to promote rapid superficial coagulation while minimizing thermal penetration and tissue carbonization. This results in reduced blood loss, clearer surgical fields with less smoke plume, and improved visualization — all critical advantages in complex procedures. The 10 ft (3.05 m) cable provides ample maneuverability for the surgical team and seamless integration with compatible electrosurgical generators.

Designed as a single‑use, sterile probe, the ConMed 160636 ABC® Handswitching Probe supports modern infection control standards and efficient operating room turnover. Its compatibility with standard laparoscopic ports and ABC® electrosurgical systems makes it an essential tool for general surgery, gynecology, urology, and other specialties utilizing minimally invasive techniques. With dependable energy delivery and enhanced control at the surgeon’s fingertips, this probe helps elevate procedural accuracy and patient outcomes.
