Patient return electrode, also known as passive/plate electrode, circuit plates, grounding electrodes(pad), and dispersive electrode. Its wide surface reduces current density, safely direct current through the patient's body during electrosurgery, and prevent burns. This electrode plate can signal the system to improve safety without being fully attached to the patient. The conductive surface is made of aluminum, which has low resistance and is non-toxic, non-sensitizing and non-irritating to the skin.
