Abstract

A cart (10) is provided for conveniently carrying an elec-prosurgical generator (14) and for providing electricity from the generator (14) and inert gas from gas tanks (66-68) to an electros-urgical pencil (40). The cart (10) comprises a platform (12) con-structed and arranged to receive any electrosurgical generator (14). A wheeled support structure (16) allows storage and trans-port of the necessary components for operating the generator (14) and the pencil (40). The cart (10) contains space for receiving gas tanks (66-68) and the connections for transferring the gas from the tanks (66-68) to the pencil (40) at a desired flow rate. The cart (10) also provides the electrical connections to provide electricity to the generator (14) and to the pencil (40) simultaneously with the inert gas.
