AI Technical Summary
Existing cleaning methods for electro-surgical instruments fail to effectively remove charred human tissue without damaging the insulating sheaths, posing a challenge in maintaining the integrity of the instruments.
A rigid, abrasive, triangular device with human tissue collection areas and side brushes is designed to manually clean electro-surgical instruments, focusing on eliminating charred tissue while preserving the insulating sheaths.
The device effectively removes 10% of charred tissue without harming the insulating sheaths, adapting to surgical needs through customizable shape and size.

Abstract
Description
With reference to Figure 1, the rigid device according to the invention comprises: a rigid, abrasive, triangular central part (3) human tissue collection areas located on either side of the central part (1) side brushes fixed between the central part and the side parts (2). As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the device includes an element (3) which is the central part of the device. The areas for collecting human tissue are abrasive on each inner lateral part (1). INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The device is primarily intended for the manual cleaning of electro-surgical instruments, and specifically, during the operating procedure. The industrial application of the device is exclusively a medical application. Its technical features, through a combination of several cleaning zones, aim to eliminate 10% of charred human tissue without damaging the insulating sheaths of electrosurgical instruments. The shape and size of the device can be adapted to the specific needs of surgeons. 15
